Arnott C-2242 Air Spring to Coil Spring Conversion Kit - Front and Rear

Arnott C-2242 Air Spring Conversion Kit

Arnott C-2242 is a suspension conversion kit for Mercedes-Benz vehicles equipped with AIRMATIC air suspension. It replaces the air spring setup with a coil spring and shock absorber solution, helping eliminate recurring air suspension failures and dashboard warning lights tied to the original system.

Built for the Mercedes-Benz S-Class platform, this NEW Arnott conversion kit is designed for drivers who want a direct suspension changeover without the ongoing cost of air strut repairs. It is a practical option for a Mercedes-Benz S350, S430, S500, or S600 with air suspension.

Installation Notes

Confirm vehicle equipment before ordering, since this kit is for Mercedes-Benz models equipped with air suspension. Installation should follow the vehicle-specific suspension conversion procedure, and the included module is used to disable the AIRMATIC system after conversion. Verify fitment by year, model, and suspension type before service.

Quality Assurance

Arnott manufactures this conversion kit as a standard replacement suspension solution for the listed Mercedes-Benz applications. The kit combines coil spring hardware, Arnott-designed shock absorbers, and an electronic module to support a complete conversion from the original air suspension system.
