Bentley Gt 04-10 diy suspension conversion

Hello member,

After months of tests and modifications, I found the parts needed to change from air suspension to coils.

i drive the car and its 100% better than air suspension

All the experiment was done by me alone and no sponsors involved 😂

if you need to change your front just dm me.

btw the measurements from middle to fender is adjustable according to your choice, mine is 410

parts costs $200

Don't stop there. Tell us more. My time Attack car will run air for now but will eventually require springs. So I'm well interested in what you have to say

like I mentioned above, I have changed the front parts only, I kept rear air suspension and remove fuse 6 in boot fuse box to disable compressor from running.
the car is driving and handling more better than it used to and I am not waking up scared to find it on floor like before 😂

if anyone has access to a machine shop and willing to change from air to spring just contact me

How long have you been running it that way.
Are you aware that there is still air in the rear shocks and over time it will slowly leak. There are still components and air lines connected that could fail. It's enviable. Without a compressor the shocks will not be able to keep topped up. They won't be able to adjust to loads either.
You should really remove all air suspension or non at all. Keeping the rears air only IMHO is not a great idea!

for now it’s been a month I’m on springs, to activate the compressor it’s just a fuse # 6 in boot
so its less hassle than keeping front air and worry everyday they will drop
