    Hi Dave,

    Another and less expensive possibility is Roadster Renovation spring stiffeners. I have them, easy install and does tighten up the front end. Certainly not too stiff but more than OEM. In conjunction with an upgraded anti-sway bar and a proper alignment by Squared Away ----- I'm very pleased with the way my RTS handles.

    Look on eshocks.com, they have a lot of different size and weight springs. The rear spring is 2.25" ID but the longest they have is 10". So you will have to make a spacer or get an adjustable sleeve to set the preload correctly. For 2up the recommended spring is 900lb to 1100lb, just depending how much the weight load is. This should eliminate the need for the airbag completely.

    Maybe we should ask; what are you trying to accomplish by replacing the air suspension system with a conventional spring / shock combination?
