Default Oem air to coilovers ?

I'm considering getting rid of the oem air suspension on my 07 460L . I'd like to go with bc racing coilovers . How do you bypass the oem to not throw faults and error lights ? Any help will be appreciated . Thanks in advance

Your REALLY need to explain your thought process here.... what are the benefits of coilovers over the oem air... (with an aftermarket controller)

My guess is fear of air suspension replacement costs even though the majority of LSs with A/S don't have issues...I'm curious as to the answer too

I'd ride out the OEM air susp until you start having issues (if any), and in the meantime save up for an aftermarket air setup

I would like to know the answer to this as well. I already bought and replaced the two rear A/S with my own money and labor. I figured that once the fronts go, I will go with a full aftermarket set. No point in spending another 2.5k on two airshocks. There are a few people on here with cars that came with factory air that went with aftermarket air. Hopefully they can chime in and share some info on how to disable the "xmas" lights on the dash.
