Shocks for C300, 300B

[William Huff <whuff@xxxx>]

Hi,

IMHO the problem is the use of air shocks to begin with. I have put them 
on a couple of my cars, and when even a moderate amount of air is 
introduced into the shocks the ride gets very bouncy. I don't think air 
has the damping qualities that the sealed oil or gas shocks do, and I now 
believe that the air shocks are good for increasing load capacity but not 
for much else. I would use good quality gas or oil shocks for OEM 
replacements.

He you minority, Anybody know of a source and correct numbers for front and 
rear shocks. I went to my local NAPA and they sold me a pair of rears that 
they said were correct. Unfortunately I acted in faith, painted the shocks 
black and installed. They are air shocks and I noted a much larger 
diameter. Turns out they are way to stiff and now the car bounces over 
bumps. Thanks for any help.
