How do you convert my 91 Lincoln mark 7 to coil springs from air springs?

I wouldn't recommend it. The ride quality is worse the springs are noisy and it is much easier and cheaper to replace the air springs with new air springs. You can replace all 4 airsprings in a couple hours or less. Message me and I can recommend someone who can install them for you if you don't want to tackle it. Hope this helps

Different strokes for different folks. When my 95 LTC air springs failed, a shop said the problem was the computer control (I think their diagnosis was wrong), and they quoted $1500 to replace the computer...when I asked what if I actually needed new bags (and possibly a compressor, as I've read compressors will burn out if leaking air bags are not promptly attended to), the shop quoted about $2200.
Instead I purchased a coil spring w/heavy duty shocks kit over the internet, and due to general laziness and lack of time paid a shop to install the kit. All told I was out about $600, and took care of bypassing the idiot light about the air suspension on my own.
Three years later, I am VERY happy with my maintenance free no hassle standard coil spring suspension. Not noisy. Not squeaky. Yes the ride is marginally different...it took me all of my 7 mile drive home from the shop to get acclimated to the springs.
Downside? If I put a couple 200+ pound adults in the back seat the ride will not auto-level. I can live with that!
So while Mark VII Heaven may not be pleased with the swap-out, as is his right, others such as me found it to be a suitable economical alternative to that of keeping the air...

Lincoln mark viii air spring?
Lincoln Mark 8s do not have steel coil springs. They have airbags or air springs. The air bags can plainly be seen by looking under the rear of the vehicle near the wheels. You will see a elongated rubber bag on both sides. Also can be seen though the front wheel wells. If these blow out or leak the vehicle will leak down.
