rear air shocks
so I'm in a little panic. I installed Air shocks on the back of my SE so I used a Manuel fill kit to 20 PSI. The back end of my car is jacked up real high.
Is 20 PSI too much, is there a break in period? My heart is kind of breaking.

Either lower the pressure, or fill the trunk with bags of sand.

For the record, I wasn't actually being serious when I said fill the trunk with bags of sand, lol.
Can someone confirm what the rear air pressure should be for these cars?

Edit, as I'm reading it, if you're using Monroe max air shocks, you should inflate or deflate until the desired ride height is achieved. Results will vary depending on the car. I would go down to 10psi and see if that helps.

Yeah for the max airs those are great for 00+'*. I used Monro Senatrac'*. And after a few messages normal ride PSI is around 15lbs.
Another main reason for the higher height is SE springs have complete control of the ride height. One the SSEi'* the duty is shared. So know my Control hog springs have help from the air giving it a little boost. Thanks to Bill for that info.
