Air Springs versus Springs

[SWOOSH]

Couldn't find any new information on this conversion? Anyone done this? What springs the ones to go with?

If your MM's air bags are in good condition, I highly advise that you keep the air bags, compressor and other parts. If you ever sell it, the next MM owner may want the parts to convert it back.

The MMs are special cars and the parts are getting harder and harder to find.

rear springs site:mercurymarauder.net

I remember a thread where a Member recommended Strutmasters. I'm thinking about doing the same mod. Keep us updated if you do the conversion.

Ok... What did you replace with... And why do you like it? Ride height ok/ match? Have you loaded the car with four adults or packed the trunk?

I am asking only to learn about the conversion, and what you like about it. Not being snarky, promise!

[SWOOSH]

I'll try to get a picture of the ride height tomorrow. Haven't loaded it yet, but with new shocks and springs, I'm sure it will be fine, at least I hope so :-(

Do you find it handles better?

[SWOOSH]

I don't really push it like I use to, but nothing noticeable regarding that.
