Here's what I did to gain manual control over my air ride system. This all began when the factory compressor took a dump on me and forced me to install a set of coils for awhile. During that time I read every writeup that had to do with aftermarket air management on our cars. I chose paddle...

Well today I got everything to do my spring conversion from a mid 90s V8 Bird. I got the setup for less than $80. The spring perch materials cost me $8. I bought 4 pieces of 8"x8" 1/8 steel plate. I followed a diagram posted up from a different sight on how to make the things. Like an...

I was reading DJ Kales old threads and theories on modifying the stock air ride system but didnt find too much on using Viair compressor in place of the factory one. I am pretty familiar with after market bag systems because I had a few FS Chevy trucks that were bagged. Kale mentioned...

If anyone has a set of coil spring upper perches, mounts, plates or whatever we call them...can you measure the width and thickness for me? I'm pulling my air springs out and putting in coil springs from a T Bird. I found a T Bird at the yard with Eibachs on it and I'm gonna pull them but I...

Read a few threads but my issue is weird. Yesterday on the way to the parts store to pick some sand paper for my headlights my check air ride message comes on. Right after that I can feel the rear end had more bounce to the ounce. To make a long story short, by the time I got home the...

I am at the wrecking yard as we speak and I need an alternator because mine is acting up. The only Mark out here is a 97 and mine is a 95. Do they interchange? BTW tried to use the search feature but I am in the middle of the desert right now and its taking too long.

I owned a mobile wheel repair company that specialized in curb damage restorations. If any of you need tips, tool list, or paint codes let me know. I mainly repaired wheels at high end dealerships like BMW, MB, Ferrari, Maserati and Galpin Ford's premier collection. Repairing curb damaged...

I am on the market for a set of wheels for my 95 MK8. In order to make sure the wheels tuck when the suspension is aired out I want a 20x8" or 22x8" wheel. Im gonna order my wheels from a supplier that makes wheels to order so lug pattern is not an issue. If any of you are still on air...

Here's a couple of pics of my 95. It has 101,000 miles on it. So far I've given it a tuneup, replaced the MAF sensor, installed a head unit, and sensor lowered it. As far as performance goes Im looking for a combo that will yield low 13s to high 12s. Ive read here and on another forum that...

I found a 92 Thunderbird SC down at the wrecking yard with an automatic trans and a 3:27 Trak Lok differential. Half off day is coming up soon and for a whopping $35 I can have this thing in my 95 base and get rid of the peg leg. Besides added weight any cons to doing this super cheap mod?
