Air shocks work the best. You have adjustable ride height and the ability to set the rear at any height you want, without the harsh ride often seen with stiff springs. The story that they put undue stress on the rear suspension is not true. Pontiac offered Superride shocks as an option on '64 and later GTO's. I've used them on at least six Pontiac since originally using them on my '64 GTO when it was only a few months old. I ran individual air lines so I could preload the right rear as needed to get the car off the starting line evenly.
I have yet to see or hear of a specific case where air shocks resulted in damage to the rear suspension. How do these stories get legs?
