95-99 Mercedes S55 Rear Coil Spring Kit

kaleb — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:43:28 +0000

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.

95-2002 Range Rover Coil Spring Conversion Kit

I bought a 1995 Range Rover about 6 months back. The vehicle only had 72k miles on it, and was in great shape. The only catch was the air suspension system on the vehicle was shot, they told me the reason they were selling it was because the cost of repair was to much. My neighbor had some Hummer H2 air suspension problems before, and they were quite costly. But I knew there had to be some other way to fix this problem. And the rest of the vehicle was in great shape, and ran wonderfully. So I set out to find a cheaper fix.

I went home and started searching land rover range rover forums and blogs. I found out that the factory air suspension was going to definitely cost a lot to fix, but I also learned of another solution called a coil spring conversion kit. What you do is remove your air springs and install coil springs in their place. Coil springs are probably the most common and reliable forms of suspension on the road today. The Coil Spring Conversion Kit sounded like a great idea to me. I called a friend of mine who is a mechanic, and asked him what he thought. He said he thought it was a great idea, and would definitely be a lot cheaper and more reliable fix.

So now I knew what I needed, I just had to figure out were to get it. I couldn’t really find any reasonably priced air suspension kits locally. So I searched the web, for sites that sell this kind of stuff. I found the cheapest one for my vehicle at Strut Masters.

After installing the kit in just a couple hours, my Range Rover was back on the road. The air suspension conversion was the perfect fix.

98 Buick Century EZ Strut Replacement

kaleb — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 18:57:06 +0000

I have a 1998 Buick Century, it is actually my third Century that I have had, I also owned a 1997 and a 2001. They are great cars, and very comfortable. After they have some miles run on them the suspension will begin to get soft and loose. At this point it is time for new struts and maybe new springs. There are a few different options you can go with when it comes to replacing struts with an air suspension conversion.

Buick Century Strut Replacements

You could go with a cheap replacement that will last you another fourty or fifty thousand miles. Then you will be back in same situation with a set of worn out struts. These struts are just made cheap, with components that were not designed for the long haul. There is another option though.

For a little more money you could go with EZ Struts, which are much stronger than a standard replacement strut. EZ Struts contain a multi shim valve system which provides for a much smoother and more comfortable ride. Also they contain a hardened double chrome plated push rod. The strut is made of two tubes to protect the inner components. All of these things make the EZ Strut a stronger and better choice. These are the struts that we used for the Cadillac Eldorado.

kaleb — Tue, 11 Aug 2009 22:25:03 +0000

I have a 1989 Pontiac Bonneville. I only had it for about 3 months, before it started giving me trouble. Which was not to much of a surprise cause it is a used car. But when I took it to my local dealer for repair, I was shocked. They wanted nearly $1000 to replace two of my air struts which were faulty. Both rear ones went out at the same time. They told me it was a common problem, and that they repaired them quite often. I decided to search for some other options. During my search I found some interesting things that may help you with your air strut problems and info on an air suspension conversion.

I went to a few shops around town, and got some quotes. Some were over a thousand, but none less than $800. Then I started talking to a mechanic at a smaller local shop, and he told me that he had the same car, only his was a 1991 Bonneville. He told me about a permanent and affordable fix. He said he has done the repair on his car as well as his cousins 1993 Bonneville. Both himself and his cousin were happy with the fix.

So what is this cheap and simple fix? Well it is simply a kit that will convert your troublesome air struts to non-air struts. The kits have been around for years, but have kind of been kept a secret by money hungry shops and dealerships, who like to perform the costly repairs at your experience. So were can you get this kit? Check out this link for information and great pricing.
