Toronto Air Suspension to coil springs
Hello everyone,
New member, long time lurker. I am thinking of getting an airmatic to coil springs conversion kit but having trouble finding someone in the greater Toronto region who would install the kit. Any recommendations?

I don't have a suggestion for you, but curious why? Are you having major problems with your air suspension? Maybe I'm wrong but isn't the air suspension built in with electrical dampening, etc. Would not codes appear? Work- around? I would think 'Strut-Masters' should be able to recommend someone in the TO area....

I've had it with the airmatic suspension, it's the bane of my existence. Over the years I've had 1 burnt co professor, 2 blown air springs, and now newest issue is that the "Lift" function cannot raise the vehicle beyond "comfort" height (like the ABS Sport/Comfort height adjustment works fine but if I try to raise it any further it just keeps cycling and cant actually reach the set height). No dropping on any side luckily and auto leveling still works. So not huge deal at the moment but I'm anticipating future faliure and would like to all together to stop thinking about airmatic issues. It seems the strut-master kit has a module to bypass the airmatic error message.

I've also heard that the system is a royal PITA. If you can swap it out for the kit you mentioned, good for you. I'm sure any shop could do it. I had a local indy shop swap out my rear springs and there were no issues
