I saw Strutmaster has a $1400 kit for replacing the air. Wondered if anyone had used it.
I bought that conversion kit and am trying to install it right now. The lower strut bolt on the drivers side is stuck, even an impact wrench won't take it off.
I wish you luck, sorry I can't help. Time for a torch? Please keep us posted.
So I finally get the old air strut off, and the strut masters sent me struts that don't fit into the lower bracket, I'm heated man! I called them Saturday and the guy I talked to said it was a new kit and they hadn't sold any of them so it was the first they had heard about the problem. He told me he'd get back to me by Monday, but we'll see. $1470.00 is what I paid, and my wife is without a car. I still have my '00 LS400 at least. I'll let y'all know what happens, hopefully they can fix this...

There are a few complains about the company and customer service. I wish you success with them.

So, I decided to just send these back to the company. They want a 20% restocking fee even thought its their fault that these don't fit. The service guy called me back finally and apologized that they don't fit, he even said he doesn't know how they mad that mistake and blah blah blah! I still have to wait for another call to get a return authorization. I wish I would've read more reviews about this place. I just bought these after reading rave reviews, and they are half the price and adjustable!
First and foremost, the ride is awesome! There were 0 problems with the coil overs, the hard part was removing the the back seats in the UL version. It took a good deal of effort to get the new coil overs on the back, the control arms had to be pressed down just enough to slide the new Megans on. I left the dampers at the factory settings but had to raise the front by almost 2 inches cause it was too low for my taste. The rear I raised 2 inches prior to installing them too. In the end though, it rides way nicer than factory in my opinion, even has a sportier feel around corners!
