Dale,
I would think twice about changing out the SlS suspension. When everthing is working it is awesome!

You can pile 4 people in your car and lugguage, drive cross country and cruise very nice with the factory suspension. Stock non leveling suspension just can't do that! Not too mention it does'nt look like a lowrider.

If you've got a leaky pump or non working pump they can be repaired. Get in touch with Steve Cots.

Rear accumulators can be replaced, and that should usually take care of everything. Sometimes the rear shocks start leaking. You then have to top off the reservoir every now and then.

Otherwise you could spring for new ones, or have your rebuilt. I can rebuild the rear self leveling ones if they need it.

I will be adding H&R springs and Koni adjustables to my 85 745. I will also change out the rear springs but keep the self leveling suspension. Should make the car really nice in the turns.

We will see how this turns out!
