On my Fairmont I started off with the original stock rear springs, no sway bar and QA1 double adjustable shocks. I can tell you that investing in those shocks was a tough decision but a good one. Even though my car is a stick it didn’t work well at all and the right rear tire hit the inside fender well on launch. As I progressed (after talking with Sean a lot), I installed Mustang GT springs with rubber spacers on top to get the ride height correct. Right side spring spacer was 3/4 taller than left. Air bag would do the same except as it compresses the effective compression rate changes...I think. I added a stock sway bar. No air bags. The springs, spacers and sway bar helped.
Then I moved to the front which I hadn’t touched except for a 90/10 strut. Loosened up the bushings changed the caster camber plates to give more movement, then the car started to rotate a little. Launch is fairly even.
Shock settings are critical as noted.
I have Air bags new in the box for sale.
