PTT air suspension covert to coil spring possible?

Hello, I am new here from Texas PTT owner.

Air suspension is cool but it will most likely fail at certain mileage right?

Is it possible to convert air suspension to normal coil spring?

If possible do you know all the front noises will disappear and more reliable in long run?

Please let me know
Thanks

It's possible to convert to a coil spring/or coilovers for sure but would also have to get the delete sensors or code out the errors you will get on the dash. Mine started to fail around 67k and am currently getting it fixed now. I personally love the air ride so had no choice but to repair mine. Bought the parts I needed from rebuildmastertech.com.

Besides the dash lights, I wonder about the difference in handling. My only comparison under any kind of performance conditions was at a car control class. Couple of non-PASM, non-turbo panameras there. Owners both commented on how flat my car tracked when cornering. Something to think about.

You cannot do that to a car like this, you would be downgrading the handling and ride

I've searched the internet but it seems that there's no KW for panamera? I only found KSport and D2 which I think will need the sensor codes.

I might be looking into this option too, My 2010 4S is currently in Memphis Porsche dealer for 3 issues, one of which is right front air strut leaks and car slumps down. They've quoted me 5,800.00 dollars to replace both front air struts of course they're not covered under my warranty.

$5800 is too much for a pair of strut! Please get the coilovers.
