Air Suspension to Struts

Tnate · Post by **Tnate** » Thu Nov 22, 2007 8:08 am

Just wondering what a good price is for this conversion. I've been given a quote, but it seems pretty pricey. I'm not sure whether to ditch this guy, or let him have the car.

Any ideas would be great
Cheers

gday m8 how u goin when i did the airbags to spring and strut conversion in my gen1 liberty wagon i went to pedders they have a kit and i got a trade discount but it still cost me 1380.00$ fitted....if i had my chance again the kit was from memory 880.00$ or around there but i would fit it myself

cheers Ben

Thanks for that. The quote I got was for $1900 fitted, and I did think this was a little on the rich side.

How's the ride with the Pedder's conversion? Ride height? What kind of guarantee did they give you?

Cheers

um imo the ride was better but i wanted to lower the car i did the swaybar and strut brace upgrade aswell....depends what u like i like a hard ride so i put kings low with the pedders sports rider shocks i rekon shop around maybe look for rs turbo suspension to put under ur car and just replace the springs and bushings to ur liking....cheers Ben

Keep the air struts.

they are under $700 now for each corner. If only one is buggered, it is the cheap way out

Refresh of an old thread! Im lookin in to this conversion now and want the cheap way out, not so concerned about the functionality, oviously working

but mainly as a daily driver with some longer road trips, not much off road.

Found AlpineRavens struts
vbclassified.php?do=ad&id=160

good move? plus some springs obviously, anyone seen anything else thru their travels?

Have a 11/1991 AWD Gen1 Liberty Wagon if that helps....

also if i had to replace everything new, im guessing the word on the street is KYB struts and king springs...
