do these look legit? i want to install them on my 86 sport coupe to rake it a little bit. what are the drawbacks for an air shock?

 

Those shocks are going to take the car's weight off of the rear springs and put it on the shocks. The upper shock mount area on these cars isn't very strong and isn't designed to support the weight of the vehicle. They have even been known to rip out from the stresses of normal shocks.

I would forget about air shocks (and "helper springs") and look for some actual replacement springs instead.

Since the springs on your car have most likely sagged from age, you might get the desired rake by installing a pair of new Moog factory replacement springs in the rear.

 

yeah i will probably just get monroe's or bilstein's
