Boy ol boy, this thread has taken on a life of its own other than the original intention of the thread's headline.![]()
Since ONE LS guy posted (me) and I got two back (you guys), I think you have proven my point.. :shifty:
Overall, each side is passionate about their cars..
I'm a terrible dancer, I assure you I was not one of the two doing the Tango.![]()
Me either.. I guess it was WRX and Black06.. :lol:
Who me ???For the other replies from other people:
Cheap to buy is one thing....cheap to maintain is another.I am not going to find a cheaper car, becuase the mark is about the bottom basement, I can buy em all day for what I could buy 25 year old Hondas with. Marks are about a low as it gets as far as retained monetary value.
Have at it, its your car.I will replace expensive systems that aren't worth keeping on a low-dollar fun car. Refer to my sig link if you don't get the point. When one bag starts to fial it means that chances are the rest of the system is worn as well. That makes it worth the sacrifice to convert, if upon inspection bags or compressor show wear in addition to the failed part.
I disagreeExtreme statements such as swapping to a sohc t-bird motor is just cannon fodder for more arguing, so i will ignore that, but I will say I choose to keep my dohc because it is a reliable part of the car despite it's complexity not because it's designed that way from Lincoln, unlike air-ride it's worth the trouble.
Again I assume this is pointed at me, if it is.... say so.As for all the other "proof" you claim, Coils vs. Air-ride quality is extremely opinion and preference based, but I will say for my side of this that I agree air is a good quality ride in my opinion and many others, that's not why I'd choose to rip it out. Unlike you purists who have to knock down alternatives just to make your point, I can admit the benefits of the system even if it is not ideal. My qualms with air-ride are; value considering the normal application of the Marks left out there, reliability, and cost. Rare, pristine, or enthusiast cars do not apply to my logic. Practicality and reasonability is the point I make. Considering the best Mark is worth just a small fraction of it's original cost, value is a failure example of why air-ride ought to be retained. If I wanted to be subjusctive like you, I'd go ahead and mention that I have been a aprt of selling 10+ air-ride Lincolns, people have turned down the ones with factory systems at times because of fear of failure. When I sold my last car the potential buyers were all glad to see the conversion, matter of fact it is what sealed the deal! I had a buyer for my '93 lined up back in '08, it fell through because the kid told his dad it had air-ride. I speak reasonably and don't use blanket statements to support my opinion. Many good cars see the junk yard because people like you don't enlighten new people who use thier car for transportation to the alternatives.
I agree 100%The way I see it: It's your car to do with as you please - don't even waste time arguing with other people, trying to justify what you did or didn't do.

I disagree

I can take it.
I don't make posts to "look down on people".
If you took it that way I apologize.
I had a car on coils, I just prefer air, as I stated.
I agree 100%
Just take offense to being called stupid.
But hell I have been called worse so f@ck it.
But, for the record, I didn't start the name calling, but I did contribute, and for that shortsitedness I apologize. That's why I decided to take this thread a bit more lightly, and agreed with our forum Brit, Martin.
Take it easy ford nut, I don't wanna duke it out with a fellow Lincoln driver, I'll save that for the ricers.![]()
Also one of the most worthless.
Its almost as dumb as removing the air ride off a mark![]()
FWIW
I try to stay on the happy side, just need my coffee
Is this the name calling post?
.
If so, it was intended to be on the joking side...hence the big grin.
Anyhow.... No problem here.

Yeah they're too rich for our blood. I don't even know why it's called Lincoln vs Cadillac. It should be more like Lincolns, Vaginas, Cigars.
