96 Lincoln Mark 8

Anyone ever installed a conversion kit to change it from air suspension to shocks?? How hard was it? Would you do it again if you bought another one?
Thanks,

Talk to Jesse (Stangman) on here

I have done a few it's not real bad, removing the old pump and stuff sucks the worst because you have to make some brackets to suspend the stuff you do need.
Talk to Bill at supercoupe performance for parts I think he stocks them. 513 697 6501

Its cake! Front is the hardest part!

If I had a low mileage car, no. Id keep it air.

If I had lotsa dough for new FORD parts, I would put mine back to air. But I do love coils and would do it again if I had to.

[BlazinEagle]

I don't have a low mileage car but it is a 1 owner car. and both front bags leak

[Stangman]

What's some other details on it?

[BlazinEagle]

I am turning it into my DD. ALL original red with gray leather interiorcar has about 120K on it. Bought it for $300 from the original owner because it has been sitting under his car port for 5 years. It needs a set of tires and something is ticking in the trunk (I think it is the power atenna).

[Stangman]

Sounds about right. Sounds like a good deal too. Just watch the trans, and inspect the front suspension in GREAT detail

[BlazinEagle]

What bolt pattern are the rims? I will need a new set!

[Stangman]

5x4.25. Only other Marks, and Tbirds and cougars of the same chassis will fit. But you can hubswap it to 5x4.5. SaturnV or.... is it Saturn5.... he can redrill the rear hubs, and then you can buy sn95 front hubs. Get your rotors redrilled, bam. Good to go

'05-up wheels are said to fit best, however sn95 rims fit fine
