Default Suspension Problems 97 LS400

Hey there. New to the forum thing just recently bought a ls400 for a really great deal. I have had it for about a month now but I have a suspension light on the instrument cluster and the air system is not working correctly. The car will not pump up to the correct height and the dealer is trying to make me pay more than the car is even worth? Any suggestions? Any help is appreciated?

Thanks
Jonathan

Convert the suspension to normal. Conversion kits can be had for under 700 bucks. Check Strutmasters.com and/or Arnottindustries.com.

You might lose a little bit on the ride quality, but reliability will definately improve.

does the stock strut/spring combo fit into the location or does it need to be a conversion kit.

yeah it bolts in, but you need normal top mounts.

Default Suspension Fix LS400

The best way to get rid of all of your suspension problems as far as the air suspension goes would be through Strutmasters.com. They have the best conversion kit on the market. It comes with variable weight springs already mounted on the strut with new mounts and for teh low price of $699. It is a permanent fix that ends all worries for a fraction of the price from the dealer to go back to the air suspension. And you get a very similar ride. Give them a call 1-866-597-2397 and talk with one of there suspension experts for a discounted price.
