95-99 Mercedes S55 Rear Coil Spring Kit

November 17th, 2009

So you may have heard of coil spring conversion kits being used to avoid air suspension problems. Usually they are put on older luxury cars, but you can also get them for higher end cars to. For example I installed one just a couple days ago on a 97 Mercedes S55. The car was beginning to have some air suspension issues were the rear of the vehicle would lower down sometimes and get stiff sometimes. So my customer came to my shop asking about what he could do to fix it. With the economy being the way it is, he asked me if there was any cheap solutions. 

 

I told him about air suspension conversion kits. And explained that coil springs are probably the most popular suspension you will find on the road today. And in fact air suspension systems are really just over engineered, and really unnecessary. So he decided that a coil spring conversion kit, may be a good route for him. He asked me to price it out for him, and let him know. When I told him that parts would be less than $400 and I could go ahead and install it for an additional $150, he told me to go ahead and order it. I found out that this is where you Order the Parts  . That site had the cheapest price around, and a good reputation for customer service and quick shipping.

 

The parts came pretty quick, and the install was super easy. Most importantly my customer was very satisfied. He said the car drives just as good as it did with the air suspensions system.
