He knows this and that's why I'm pretty certain he wouldn't buy them used. Basically, he's thinking convert to standard, or see if the air ride system for another car will work (well, that was my idea. Apparently not a good one, ha ha).Originally Posted by PitOnTheProwl
Bone yards are good for some things but you never want to buy "wearable" parts from them.
Steering and suspension are wearable parts and not worth my time to install and re-install new parts a short time later
I wont even buy engines from them anymore unless I am planning on rebuilding it because my time is worth more to me than doing the job twice.
That being said, you can replace the air ride system with conventional struts in the front and air shocks in the rear.
They ride about the same either way.
He's hesitant because he's always had new cars so he just replaces whatever's needed with the exact thing that came off. In this case, its an old car and there's a huge price difference between the air one and the standard one. He just doesn't want to compromise the ride quality by converting. I will let him know that actual people have said it's a good system. At this point all he's seen are testimonials on manufacturer's websites. Having real feedback willmake it easier for him to pull the trigger.
