Default meagan coils replace air susp?

I am looking to replace my air suspension, since it is going bad. I know that you need top plates for the strut conversion, but if i purchased meagan coils, doesnt it come with it? If not, any good recommendations for where to get it other than junk yard? I have the meagan coils on the way, but i just found out about the top plate thing.

megan coils come with the whole strut assembly. so u can rip out the old stuff and just put the coils in.

same stuff as D2Racing.

people in the LS forums have been running Megans since they were introduced (and in fact, it was a members car that was used to prototype for them) and there havent been any major issues at all.
