They are very stiff and mostly for towing. Try to keep 25-30 pounds of prressure minimum or you will tear a bladder.

If you want your car to have that hopped-up look, go to 90-100 lbs.

125 lbs. will make the car run very rough.

those are the only air shocks to have under a monte.

I ran mine between 30 and 35 in then all the time. If i was goign to the track i would run up to 50 to allow for more room for the slicks to expand.

but you cna look at the side of the car on level ground and have a frend help you put them to the level ya want .

Also when you first get them in DO NOT DRIVE WITH OUT ANY AIR IN THEM AT ALL.

use a bike pump etc... something to get a bit of presure in them it will prevent the bladder from becomming pinched or tore on the way to the station to ge tthem where ya want them for driving.
