Coil Spring Conversion Kits
Posted July 6th, 2010 by kaleb
Just wanted to share another air suspension conversion kit install gone well. My Town Car is a 2005, so I was quite shocked when the rear air springs started deflating over night. I had a 1999 Town Car Before that did the same thing, after replacing the seals and the rear air springs, I found the compressor was also bad; so I installed an air suspension conversion kit on my 99, and was very happy with it. I could not tell a difference in the ride, and the reliability in the coil springs, gave me alot more confidence in my other wise trusty towncar.
Now I was back in the same situation with my 05, so this time instead of wasting the money and time on air springs, seals, etc. I immediately bought an air suspension conversion kit. The install was just as easy as it was on my 1999. Now my Town Car is back on the road, and I dont have to worry about it leaving my wife and kids stranded. The kit cost about $350, which is far cheaper than air springs and a compressor.

The first question most people have when they are deciding what kind of suspension to go with for there vehicle or custom project, is how much does it cost? Well air suspension systems can be done somewhat cheap if you shop around. But they will still be more expensive than most other suspension options.
If you are looking at your suspension options for your vehicle, it is probably because your having problems of some sort. If you currently have an air suspension system that is leaking please take a few moments to read this how to fix air suspensions guide. You may be wondering about the costs of these parts. As many air suspension repairs can be quite expensive many people simply replace them with coil spring conversion kits. This may be a good option for you to look into.
If you are doing a custom project and want an air ride system, you should be able to put together something somewhat cheap, if you shop it right. There are many sites that offer parts for building custom projects, as well as ebay, craigslist, etc; which can be great places to get deals on new and used parts. Also if you are doing the work, there is a wealth of information on forums, blogs, etc. Air suspension systems are liked by many gear heads, especially if the system is adjustable on the fly. This is sure to be fun and put on a show.
Anyone who does decide to go with an air suspension should know that the cost and frequency of repairs is far more than most other suspension systems. The up side is you can have an adjustable system that can perform differently for different situations. For example air bags on big trucks and trailers are used to adjust for the weight and weight placement which allows them to haul more weight. The decision really revolves around you and what you want to spend.

So we have all heard of the Air Lift 1000, for whatever vehicle, as they have them for almost everything. I just wanted to share another successful story. I installed one on my neighbors 92 Suzuki Sidekick. The kit added alot of towing ability to the vehicle, which is nice as my neighbor haul a small trailer occasionally. She said it handles alot better with the bags, and she likes how the rear bumper doesn’t sit so low now. The kit was less than $100, and the install took me about half an hour. And the best part is it came with a lifetime warranty, so I really had nothing to worry about. Well worth the time and money.

If you have a 04-08 Nissan Titan, and just aren’t happy with the payload, and the way it squats down in the rear alot under load, I have a solution to tell you about. The Titan is meant to have a softer suspension as it is kind of a luxury truck, and its only a half ton. One solution to this payload problem would be to add an extra leaf spring. But then your suspension will be stiff all the time. What if you want to have a nice smooth riding truck when your not hauling anything, but then be able to increase your load by 2000lbs when needed. Well you can, the solution is a simple helper air bag system which will go from the top of your leaf springs to the frame. When filled the bag will make the rear stiffer and firmer for heavy loads, but when the air in the bags is reduced the ride becomes smooth. So if you want to be able to haul that extra load, and be able to enjoy your factory ride as well, this kit is a good choice for you. For the cheapest price, click below.
We also did a air lift 1000 review, if you’d like to stiffen up the rear end of your ride so it doesn’t sag so much. This will increase your towing power by a lot. This should be very helpful and help you decide if you want an air lift.

If your legecy handles poorly and rides rough, it might be time to replace and/or upgrade your struts. A strut is a form of suspension that has a coil around it to support the weight of the vehicle. The strut acts as a shock absorber. When a strut becomes worn out, it becomes soft and fails to absorb impact the way it should, causing your vehicle to ride rough, bumpy, or loose. The handling will also be directly affected, as the vehicle will have alot of sway.
This was the problem with my 95 Subura Legacy. Struts can get very expensive, it is not hard to spend $1000. There are many good options out there. If you check around online, you can usually get alot better deal than when going into a shop. Then you can just bring the struts and your Legacy to a shop and have them put them on. Or you can install them yourself, if you have some tools and some time. They are a pretty easy and quick install. Much like replacing an air suspension conversion kits with a similar yet cheaper coil kit.
But I bought my struts online, and installed them myself. It took me a few hours to install with the help of one of my friends, and we took our time. My 1995 Legacy handled and rode like new after the install. I was thrilled, it was well worth the money.

Lexus Air Suspension Problems
So you need to know how to fix your Lexus LS400 air suspension problem. Well depending on what problem you are experiencing, I might be able to share some cheap fixes, and I’ll tell you about a way to avoid all your air suspension problems, in the future. But first of all what problem are you experiencing? One of the more common problem with these cars, is that your air suspension lowers itself when parked. So that when your park your car for the night, by the time you wake up for work it will be lowered down, but as soon as you start the car, it will raise back up. This is very common and is caused by a leak somewhere in your air suspension. The reason it only happens while your car is parked, is because while its running it is pumping air into your system. Another common problem is the air system can grow soft. Sometimes the car will just remain low or high. Now that you have heard some of the air suspension problems, lets talk about solutions.

If your 98 lincoln navigator air suspension is not working, it could be one a few problems. If one corner of your vehicle is not airing up, or is not airing up properly, it could be a sensor not functioning correctly. It could also be the seals on the airbags, if one of your bags will not air up. These seals just wear out overtime. Often these seal problems will start when the vehicle is exposed to cold weather, as the seals begin to contract. This is not a big issue as the seals are only around $20, but it is a hassle to replace them. Read on for more. Read the rest of this entry

Recently I have been having problems with my 1996 Lincoln Continental. This was its first and only problem yet, since I bought it nine years ago. The rear air bags were starting to act up. Sometimes they would feel really stiff, but more often they would feel very low on air and bouncy. I brought it to my mechanic, and of course the first time I tried to show him, it worked fine. But I brought it back again while it was having the problem. He quoted me $2300 to repair the system, and told me about another air suspension system solution. This solution got my attention. It was a kit that would replace all the air bags with coil springs and struts. I thought, of course thats a great idea, completely eliminate all air suspension problems, forever. Then he told me he could put this coil spring conversion kit on for only $750, including parts and labor. My mechanic assured me it was a great system, and that he had just installed one on a Ford Explorer just a week before. I was thrilled, that I could have a simple coil spring system, and avoid all my air system nightmares. I proceeded to order my conversion kit through this web site, Strut Masters, where I found the best price and awesome customer service.
