I wouldn't do it They do make a conversion kit but it is extremely inadequate and doesn't hold up anywhere as well as air ride.I am currently in the process of converting one of my Marks back to air ride after the previous owner put the spring kit on it it is just terrible. The air ride system is not all that difficult to repair and doesn't have to be costly either if you know where to look for the best prices on parts and fiding someone knowledgable enough to repair it without too much difficulty.

I have 3 Lincoln Mark7s and have used a Strutmasters kit on all 3 and am totally satisfied.

If you enjoy the lousy noisy ride and lowering the value of your cars glad your happy with all that I myself believe in preserving these wonderful cars not devalueing them or taking away from they're unique character that makes them stand out from other cars. I guess it's just a difference between someone who truly appreciates these cars and someone who just owns them.
