A few years ago, my brother’s 1993 Mercury Grand Marquis air bags were sitting low. The airbags would not hold air. I asked him about it and he said he thought they had been getting soft for sometime now, but had done nothing about it. At this point it was too late to do anything but replace the bag he had that was leaking, as it had been worn through where the air bag dry rotted. He was shocked after getting hearing that his air suspension problems were not going to be cheap to fix. Most shops quoted over $1000 just for the air suspension parts, not including labor!

Grand Marquis Air Suspension Converter Kit

He told me how much it was going to cost, and I started thinking. I did a little research and found that a coil spring conversion kit (also known as air suspension conversion kit) would be the right solution. I remembered hearing about coil spring conversion kits for air bag vehicles in the past but it didn’t cross my mind until I researched it. So, I explained that these coil spring kits for the Mercury Grand Marquis are more reliable than the factory airbags. He questioned me, but I assured him that these kits have far less components and are very durable. It would cost more to replace the air bag initially and also, there is still a chance that it will break again; however a coil spring conversion kit will last for life, with no problems what-so-ever, and it is far easier to install. He decided to give one of these conversion kits a try.

It cost him about $300 for the kit, and we installed it in about 2 hrs. Meanwhile, I’ve read of people taking days to install their air bags and it still not being configured correctly. Now he has had the coil spring kit for almost a year and he loves it. He has yet to have any problem at all with the kit. And he said his car drives alot smother now, and really seems to hug the road better in turns. He recommends this air suspension conversion kit to anyone with air suspension problems. There’s no need to deal with all the hassle of trying to install a new air bag suspension and all the configuration and throwing money away that’s involved. Coil Spring Conversion Kits will quite simply save you money, time, peace of mind and lots of hassles in the future. Here’s where we got ours:
