Air Shocks on an IRS car

[thelostartof]

so lucky me this car had the brackets weld'd on by the PO but otherwise this took about 10 mins to install the air shocks. the fact that the old lines were still in place made it take a lot less time but otherwise the car looks worlds better with the rear not sagging.

for those looking for a quick cheap fix to the sagging IRS setup this might be a good way to go. the brackets for the shocks is stupid easy to make and weld up so

after a few miles I must say the car actually rides pretty good with stock everything and just those air shocks in place.

Volvo had a kit for the air shock system, I have one new in the box in the garage. Pretty neat item, i bet it really helps IRS or those who do any sort of towing.

nice work.

Did they make a kit for the MK2 (non-Nivomat) IRS? My 960 could really use those. When she's packed for vacation the ass end drags.

We sprayed it with a hose, looks better than it did before.

+1 my 960 is a lowrider only on the back

looks better, but I want to go with bilstiens on my 760, but not sure if I just use live axle ones or the ones used in the tutorial on the brickboard how to conversion page.

So it doesn't have any springs now?

Just to the right of the air shock - they're still there.
