if you go with original equipment you need to replace either shocks or springs or both with factory specifications. shocks are matched to springs by load capacity and rebound force, you see, if you swap out shocks for race shocks they will be a lot more stiff, you can play with shocks a little but the springs must match the shock specs. an example would be say,you replace your factory springs with racing-lowering springs, but stuck with factory shocks, the car would bounce all over the road cause the springs are much stronger than the damping load the shocks are designed to handle

Can you replace zw7 shocks on a 2003 Tahoe with standard shocks?
If you replace the manual leveling shocks on the rear with regular shocks you also have to replace the rear coil springs with stiffer ones. Use gm part #15182559 or bilstein part #199021 to replace the coil springs. The coil springs that come with the manual leveling shocks are not stiff enough to use with regular shocks, causing the rear end to droop.

Can you replace Lincoln Town Car air spring with a coil spring?
Lincoln Town Cars are built on the same platform as the Ford Crown Victoria (the Panther Platform). To convert your Lincoln from air springs to coil springs, simply replace the Lincoln air aprings with the coil springs for a Ford Crown Victoria. (Depending on the ride you want, you can choose to either install the standard coil springs from a civilian-equiped Crown Victoria or you can install the coil springs used on the Police Interceptor version of the Crown Vic.) In addition to the coil springs, you will also need to purchase the rubber insulators to install between the car's frame and the coil spring. Simply remove your Lincoln's air spring system and install the new rubber insulators and coil springs. Many websites have detailed instructions and most "shade tree" mechanics can do the job themselves. The cost of the parts should cost no more than $125.00.
