Raj,many thanks for the link what's involved in the conversion don't seem to find any diy's?

From what I have learnt after swapping the air suspension parts to structure & shocks,coding out the SLS checks would it be good practice to do a full 4wheel geometry alignment?

Unfortunately I only posted up a few pics of the different stages I got to but not a proper how to. Suspension work is fairly straight forward but more time consuming. But yes once you do the conversion you must get an alignment done as the alignment will totally off.

If replacing a faulty suspension control module does it need programming or its just plug and play?

Update info:

Requires coding for full activation easily done with NCSexpert and k-Dcan.

Was going to say it would need coding. Had mine replaced by the dealer under warranty and they had to code it to the car (but that was a new one of course).

Got a quote for the new module, nearly cried at the price but have no choice,coding it pretty straight forward unlike the BMW's charges!
