Rear self leveling shocks

[RGene]

I need rear self leveling air shocks for my 96 Mazda MPV. They are too expensive to buy from dealer, approx. $725/set. Where can I get a cheaper set. This is way too expensive. I would even buy them used or reconditioned. Can mine be repaired or can I just install regular shocks and not use the self leveling system? I need something ASAP. They have been bad for awhile. I live in Indiana. Thank you.

RGENE, I am going to try replacing the coil springs from a non load leveling mpv. I can get the two springs from a junk yard for about $30, and then just get some regular shocks.

I put Gabrial air shocks on mine. They are working just fine at 75.00 a pair. I had to swap the air connection from the old shocks to the new, but at a 600 dollar savings it was worth it! If I remember right I bought them at Advance Auto

Can you give me some specifics on how you swapped the air connection? I need to do the same thing but was going to use the moneore air shocks because I can not find the Gabriels shocks here in AUstin.

Feeling the sting of OEM ... has anyone heard of the standard airshock mod for the self leveling system? Any specifics would be greatly appreciated.
