I found a set of coil spring from a 95 Thunderbird... I installed them yesterday... The car needs a wheel alignment... My only question is my rear air struts are working fine.... If I turn off my air ride suspension will it affect the rear air struts?

yep, it turns off the compressor so as soon as air seeps or leaks out then poof rear bags are empty.

Ditto - Hope the rears never leak :( Cause now the car wont even adjust them since the fronts may not be where the computer wants them, especially if you removed the sensors, then the system is dead. It tries to adjust fronts first, if it cant is faults.

On a side not - that crappy MSN Autos add has GOT to go. That flash thing slows down my typing - I have NEVER been on a forum with so many ads!!!!!!

You went half way with the suspension, you may as well do the whole thing. It makes no sense to have springs in the front and air in the back.

Maybe he's trying to be... Unique. :lol:

Sorry Jafeb, couldn't help myself.

It's ok Frogman.... I deserve it.... I will do the rear next weekend....

I have a question regarding T-Bird front shocks. Does anyone make a performance oriented aftermarket shock for the car?


Nevermind I found some KONIs... a little expensive though (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Koni-Front-Shocks-Struts-Sport-Ford-Thunderbird-89_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33590QQihZ018QQitemZ 280098502238QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWD1V)

The KONI's were OEM on The soupercoupes. If you get those, you might also want to consider the SC actuators that sit on top of the Koni units. I don't know how you'd go about mounting them. You could prolly do without them, but in Firm setting, they are pretty firm.
