Hello, I am installing Intrax Springs, and From what I have read the rear "sags" and I have a wagon, so I am sure that will make it worse.
I thought about air shocks to make up for it, but I was reading to use air bags instead.

Could someone help me with this, where to get the right ones for this app.. how much they cost, and how easy to install?

Thanks much guys!!

Airshocks are not renowned for their actual superior dampening qualities. They're just not manufactured or marketed that way. Not the $100 Gabriel/Maremont/Hyjacker types at AZ, and not the $300 OEM ?Monroes at the dealer. More like a metal stick in a cylinder and an airbulb to adjust the stiffness.

To get bonafide Bilstein/HAL/KONI quality you will just have to go out and get them, and then install some coil bladders (Airlift 1000) to lift the rear. It works quite well actually.

Another thing about air shocks: the upper rear shock mount is not designed to support the weight of the car. Did air shocks back in the early 70's on a '65 Gran Sport for tire clearance. Within months the upper mounts had started to oil-can and it was all downhill (mount destruction) from there. I lived and learned. Go airbags!! [Also the reason why I love leaf springs in the rear of any vehicle!]
