An Air-Suspension has many benefits, it can improve ride quality, add functionality such as increased ride height for off-road excursions, and keep the rear leveled under heavy loads. However, Air Suspension will eventually fail like all hard-working components. They are prone to damage and become unusable. The dampener, just like any other shock, will also lose its ability to control suspension movement due to internal wear.
You can check the video below on the working of an air suspension and how it can cost you a fortune to repair if something goes wrong.

Two options are available to restore the vehicle’s suspension system to its original condition if it fails. Repair the air-suspension system or replace it with new coilovers. Each option has its pros and cons. However, no matter what alternative is chosen, it is essential to consider your needs and budget.
Why Coilover Suspension Is Better?
You may be considering the conversion to springs. However, you need to ensure that you have correctly diagnosed the problem.
Modern air suspension systems can fail in many areas. This includes the control modules, solenoids, and the vehicle’s electric network. Although it may seem like an airbag is leaking, it could be a problem with the control modules, solenoids, and vehicle network. Sometimes, the control module may need to be reprogrammed to fix a problem.
Converting an airmatic suspension system into coilovers removes the load-levelling component and takes out an engineered system that balances pressure and dampener valve control. The system is handled using sensors that monitor road conditions and body movements.

However, coilover suspension kits have many advantages. They are known for being more durable than air suspension kits and can withstand wear and tear better. As opposed to the intricate network of electronics and plastic and rubber elements, the simple, sturdy structure of Coilover often makes people feel more assured in their journey.
Once a car gets to the point where everything starts to break, that air suspension becomes a ticking time bomb that could ruin your next road trip. The mismatch of air pressure can also affect the wheel alignment and cause damage to the rims.
