Default Air suspension conversion

Hi..

I have 2010 LS460L with 76K miles and I hear raddle noise in from driver and passenger side.
I took it to the Lexus service center and they said it's the air suspension problem and need to replace this part and would cost about $2K per suspension.

My question is is there anyway I could convert this air suspension to standard coil or gas shocks from Air suspension??

I will be using this for a Limo in NYC and the road conditions are terrible and air suspension is not going to last that long and they are expensive.

Any one knows how and what the cost will be to convert from air to coil or gas suspension that will be great.

and if anyone knows what would be good and heavy duty coil or gas shock for NYC limo will be helpful.

Thanks

I know they sell aftermarket spring shocks for regular LS460, but will not fit the L model. I too wouild like that possible option, that is why i'm not buying my LS460L right now. Either i can find an used set of air suspensions in case of replacement or changing it to regular shocks if possible.

If you are still under warranty, it might be cheaper to buy a Lexus Platinum extended warranty to cover these expensive repairs.
