General Suspension Question
Found out I need new rear air bags and had a question. The Bill Blass edition has 40% softer bags. So I was thinking to put them up front to allow greater transfer for the 1/4. does this make sense to you guys?

You want shocks with less rebound valving for better weight transfer.

Spencer...I think you're money will be well-invested to convert the airbags on that car to a standard spring/strut. The boys out in Odenville have some conversion control-arms that allow this...and some other method for the front (I thin kit's a thunderbird control-arm and seetup.
Getting rid of the airbags will be great for your plans: a hotrod lincoln.
