Converting air ride suspension to a spring-based system can be a significant job, often requiring specialized knowledge and tools. The complexity and cost depend on the vehicle type and the specific components needed for the conversion. While it may reduce maintenance and long-term costs associated with air systems, the initial conversion can be labor-intensive and expensive. It's advisable to consult with a professional to assess the feasibility and costs involved.

If you replace the air ride on your 1989 Continental with an aftermarket system are you going to sacrifice the incredibly comfortable ride?

Assuming you intend to replace the air units with conventional spring/strut units, the car will still ride comfortably, but it will be noticeably different from the ride of the factory air that you are used to. It'll ride more like a Taurus with the spring/strut units.

How do you repair rear suspension air shocks all the way up and open?

The best way to fix this is to diagnose the system and replace the bad parts or you can put the aftermarket spring kit on the car... The spring kit's about $500 and new airbags can be had from ebay for about $80 a bag, or you can get everything to fix the air ride system (4 air bags with the valves, air compressor with a new dryer) for $500... I would fix the air ride if I was you because of the comfortable ride, beats the springs any day!

What to remove from Lincoln mark 7 after spring conversion?

You really don't have to remove anything but the air bags and turn off the switch for the air ride system... But if you want to you can remove the Air Ride light bulb that will be on all the time, take out the compressor next to the battery, pull the air ride computer out which is next to the switch, and the hardest job would be removing all the air lines and the wire harness for it ... I would take everything off and sell all the good parts on ebay and you could get back some of the money you spent on the spring conversion kit.
