Coil Over
5 days ago I installed a coil over kit with light fix from Strutmaster. It is their newly design kit, which I source through Americanairsuspension.
Although not rides like a hydraulic suspension I am extremely please in the way my car handles and ride. When I first completed the installation I said what the he'll did I do. The car sat so high I was afraid, but within one day the suspension started to settle. The install when well, but the reassembling the rear was difficult. I would like to upload puctures, but forum settings is not letting me upload from my gallery. But trust me Strutmaster got it right.

I would not be able to verify that, but from previous post that I read the SL350 kit was not as durable. These shocks and springs are very beefy. The front spring is a variable rate spring with tighter coil at the top and bottom as compared to the middle . They claim for normal driving that you would not need sway bars.

I am using my existing pump. I will change only is it goes bad. Fifteen months ago I purchase brand new for dealer for $2065.00, then both valve block went bad. I rebuild them and replaced all nitrogen ball only to have front left drop again. I had enough. How I is your car handling curvey roads?
