Ok here is my dilema, One of the suspension air bags went out and along with it the suspension motor? anyhow he said the mtor cost $500 and the bag $300 plus labor. So he suggested that perhaps I might want to remove the suspension and replace with air shocks instead all for $600 including the laborIn all reality I dont have alot of money to work with but I want to make a good decision. Has anybody done this before switch from suspension to shocks??? and if so how big is the difference? I love the floating feeling of the Suspension but if its not that much of a difference perhaps I should change to shocks. Please help all and any comments welcome. Thank you all for your help!

U STILL NEED A MOTOR FOR YOUR SHOCKS, YOUR CAR HAS A FULL AIR SUSPENSION 2 AIR SHOCKS IN THE FRONT AND 2 AIR BAGS IN THE REAR, IF YOU LIKE TO AVOID THE MOTOR PUT 2 REGULAR SHOCKS IN THE FRONT, AND COIL SPRINGS WITH SHOCKS IN THE REAR. FIND A GOOD DEAL ON SHOCKS AND USED SPRINGS FROM FORD XPEDITION AND U CAN GET DOWN TO $300 PLUS 2-3 HOURS OF LABOR.
I blame the installers and the owners who want their alarm to go off every time Howard Stern breaks wind in New York, and they're parked in California. I got my alarm set so that people can lean on my car, loud cars and choppers can go past, and anything short of some one pounding on my car, trying to break in or vandalize it wouldn't make it go off. The one time it did go off, I woke up and some jerk was in my car (while the alarm was still going off) trying to rip out my stereo. He was lucky I didn't have a gun, because I was pissed. I did let the 911 operator know what kind of car he was driving and his plate numbers.
I like the Volkswagen version and some of the newer versions that are quiet alarms that disable the ignition and doesn't allow the car to start. This is so much better than the noise pollution ones that idiots set too sensitive so that a fly lands on it and it goes bonkers.
