Shipping to Panama is about $150 thus giving a grand total including labor of $1,200.00. If for any reason it turns out that the other bag must also be replaced then it would be around $1500.00

If I buy a conversion kit for about $300 (on ebay), I can get away with a total cost of $650.00 and never have to worry about it again.

Of course, if you guys think that going to springs is a definite no-no, I will just suck it up and stick to air.

Hi guys,

despite not getting any convincing feedback, I went ahead and did the conversion from airbags to coils... The car feels and drives GREAT!

I am very happy with the result and the only thing left is to figure out how to turn off the "level control system failure" warning message.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Find a local coder and it can be done.

When I got my X, I checked to make sure it did not have the air bags. I wanted just the regular suspension.
