    spring rear to airbag

    so, say i wanted to change my rear springs to airbags. not a full SLS swap, but manually filled bags.

    anyone done this? love the way my 2 link and bagged truck rides in the back, and the bmw should ride better than it does (while still hauling whatever i need it to).

    and yes, im assuming the rear subframe bushings are screwed at 175k. nothing on this suspension looks to have ever been replaced, except the rear shocks with bilstiens (black, with bilstein sticker)

    plan is to go for about 1-1.5 lower all the way around at some point, with a full suspension rebuild. but i dont want to loose utility, and want to improve ride in the process.

    i have low suspension options on my wagon, and believe me it rides a little rougher than I would like, but I live with it. The wagon rear shock design and how it is installed was not the best idea, granted we got a pretty wide flat floor because of it.
