yea you should be able to swap out the air ride struts for spring and shocks!!! you just have to figure out or find the fuse for the air ride pump

Cheapest route for your customer is gonna be to dump the air suspensions and convert to shock/spring combo. OEM replacements are quite expensive and alot of the aftermarket stuff to replace is just pure junk. Am pretty sure they will be MUCH happier with the overall savings down the line.

But, to answer your question, those wont work anyway for the 91, it's a different part number. They're more expensive then I even thought from Sewell, $1423 for front and $825 for the rears.

Huh, that's good to know, that they will bolt on. I thought they were a different size. I've been looking just incase one of mine went out. But if they're the same it gives me more of a market to look at. Thanks PD.

this is why tein coilovers for the 2nd gen won't fit the 1st gen properly. The reason Megans and JICs work across both is because they were designed for the 1st gen. Also, this is the reason you can't raise 2nd gen cars on 1st gen coilovers back to stock height, you still end up an inch+ down.
