Looking good! I still think it stands up today with modern styling, if not better. Just don't park it next to a silver Jag, looking from the side you'll wonder which one is yours! -

My GS300 was silver with cream, I really liked the combo. I also found the MPG really good, especially as it is a fairly big car. Looking forward to the photos!

I didn't remove the wheel arch liners, I used a piece of nozzle from a silicone tube with a slot in the side, obviously the proper tool will make it easier. The air struts are surprisingly light so that helps with removal. Looking forward to the end result. Also if you could eventually let us know the total cost it might help others. I see Rockauto are selling a complete strut assembly for £55 with a two year warranty, but I think the route you're taking is likely to produce better results. It's also a good time to check your front upper control arms as the struts need to come off to replace them.

I fitted the Strutmaster kit and it sits about the height of air suspension on high. I didn't find the ride to be any different to air quite honestly. You will need to remove the suspension system fuse which will disable any warning lights. The actual removal of air and fitting of a conventional setup is very straightforward, all you need is basic knowledge. If you're not intending to go back to air you can simply cut the airlines, especially on the front, and that will save time and knuckles!
