There are springs with them. Turned mine around to run a droop setup. I think the air does the dampering instead of the oil. Works good but probably not a tunable as an oil shock.

True about tunabilty, I use grease on the seals and a light oil to lube the piston. What is your ride height, chassis and shock lenght?

Thumbs up HR Black internal spring air shocks

Just installed a set of the 100mm HR shocks on my Gmade R1 and I am so excited to finally get rid of the stock leaky shocks! These shocks not only look awesome they work so smooth. I used green slime on the Orings and the soft springs and I think they are perfect! You can adjust the compression by the knurled end to dial your rig in. These also do not need shock oil so no chance of leaking! I feel they are the best shocks I have ever tried in over 30 years of RC Racing! You wont regret buying these shocks!!!!
