So, I crashed my boyfriend's CTS a few weeks ago (bad roads, not being a jackass) and we just found out that it's totaled. He really loves that car, so he's going to buy it back from the insurance company and fix it. It's going to take awhile because his schedule is crazy. In the meantime, he's generously purchased a 1996 Cadillac Seville for me to drive while we're fixing the other car. He says it's temporary, I'm not so sure....

Anyway the Seville needs shocks and struts and they're super expensive. At this point, we don't want to put a couple thousand dollars into something we're only going to keep for a couple of months, so he was thinking about using a conversion kit and changing the air suspension system over to a standard one. This is way less expensive, and will work fine, but it's really hard for him to bring himself to do that. He's just one of those people who has to do everything the right way, or as close as possible, even if something else will work.

So, I'm wondering- does anyone know of another car's suspension system that would work on the Seville, and maybe cost less? Everything is expensive on a Cadillac, so I was thinking maybe there is a $1000 air suspension system that's actually designed for a different car, but will work on this one?

Sorry if it's hard to figure out what I'm talking about. I know nothing about cars! I'm just trying to help come up with a solution because he doesn't have a lot of time. And if I am able to do that, it would go a long way to getting me back into his good graces
