Look at replies on page two under front strut air suspension. Bob

Regarding my July 2nd post, I just changed out the plastic plate with the power and air height button to one that only has a pwr button on it. It does not take long but is involved. First you must get a new plate from a car w/o air suspension. Then remove the pld plate. Now remove the 6 prong clip from the old plate and insert it into the new plate. You will have to remove the Air button and actually cut some plastic it fit it in. Reinstall the plate and you are ready to go. Now the car looks like I never had air suspension. You can get the plate from the same place that I mentioned for ordering the non-air struts. Make sure the Air suspension switch if off when you remove the button or your dash may continue to light up.

I just changed out my 96 LS air suspension with the normal shocks. I purchased all 4 replacement struts from Grahams auto (205-668-3441) for $510 including shipping ( The car had about 60K miles on it). Then I sold my 3 good air shocks on E-bay for $ 500 in one day. It cost about $400 to switch the shocks at the repair shop. I also received a new plastic plate without the air button, but I have not been able to figure out how to replace the current plate. The plate with the air and pwr buttons has a 6 prong plug, the plate with only the pwr button only has 4 prongs. If anyone has an idea let me know. Thanks Bob Hanson

For all interested, I had my 96 LS 400 Air suspension converted to the normal suspension. I purchased the strut assemblies intact and had them installed. The total price was about $1,000. The place I purchased them from was great to work with and about 1/2 the price I would have paid in Seattle. E-mail me and I will get you the information. Also, I am selling two front complete Air strut assemblies and the left rear complete Air strut assembly if anyone is interested. BobH@rebarcpa.com
