hello everyone,

i own a 93' lincoln mark 8 and i know at least one of the air shocks is leaking and i wanted to do a complete overall conversion to coil air springs or whatever is out there. I was wondering if anyone knows of the best coversion kits for the money, im looking for alittle more performance especially. i guess im willing to spend a little more for some performance.

Some options:

American air are supposedly the best to go with as they offer the best customer service. I have an Arnott kit which seems good but have heard bad things about Arnott as a company. Dont know much about the other 2 companies.

Kits are available in standard height or 1.5'' lowered.

You could just sort out the air ride in which case American air suspension is your best choice, either that or the more expensive OEM option.

I just finished installing the 1 1/2" lowered front conversion kit from Am. Air Suspension and I'm VERY happy with the results. I also replaced the UCAs and front sway bar end links and my '93 corners like it is on rails! And the ride quality is much improved.
I would definitely recommend Am. Air Suspension's conversion kit!

This is the best place to go .... Best support and you will not regret it.

Before you choose which set and if you are thinking the 1.5 lower - Make sure you know your driveway and your driving style well.

I have a 1.5" lower on my 94 and I can't get into my driveway without scraping the exhaust tips. Lucky I have an abandon house next door with a flatter driveway.
