Default susp.-converting air bags to springs.

im considering selling the stang for a mark 7. They're very similar and since ima 5.0 HOE, I got all the speed of a mustang but without the mustang name. I can no longer afford insurance jersey insurance is insane...and everyone and there brother and mother's either had a mustang or owns one now. It's time for something cheaper...a cheaper sleeper =)

Back to the question, I have a 87 5.0 and considering buying a lincoln mark 7 LSC. Air Bag suspension sucks and I'm considering putting my lowering springs from the stang in it. How complicated is the swap? I'm not familiar with the mark 7 other than my stepdad owning several mark 8's and that mark 7's are quick and have 5.0's in em so any advice on the lincoln is appreciated.

They're not just as fast as a mustang, if I remember right they're several hundred pounds heavier...

TRUST ME lincolns are just a badge anything and everything in the front of the car is getting stripped. Leather seats? gone. Interior pannels? GONE. Airbags? gone. It's gunna be light. Yea i heard of the kit and looked at a few, what does it take? Is it worth the swap? Does it need a K member swap? Possibly go coil overs? Idk what'll look like under there ill have to do some homework....
