What are these?

http://www.driveriteltd.com/COILRITE.HTML

What the hell are these? Stumbled accross them while looking for the Zeal website (mantis' car made me interested). At first, I thought they were for towing, but it says it improves braking, handling, and tire wear? It looks like its kinda like the air spring on Lexus' and Benzies.

You have to copy and paste the link for it to work.


They are just air shocks. They are mainly used on vehicles that carry heavy loads. They show the truck with the snow plow on it because the snow plow is soo heavy on the front of the truck. With out air shocks, the front would be sagging big time. Just add air to the air shocks and you are back up to stock height. When you take the weight off, you just let the air out of the shocks and once agian your are back to stock ride heigth!! Hope this helps
