[W126 Coupe] Was the Self Levelling Suspension on the 380SEC a Gimmick?

[Kivendren Moodliyar]

This system is a lot more expensive to maintain for now I need two new
shocks in the rear. This is amounting to R3000 ($500) each. I have a
proposal to completely remove the SLS from this SEC & put a normal
conventional suspension system.

 

Apparently the SLS as opposed to Air Shocks gives a much harder drive,
please correct me if I am wrong but the SLS served for only balancing the
car at all times regardless of the Load. 

 

Do you think I should modify my SEC with Normal Suspension and Tighten the
Springs 

Cost of this is estimated at R6000 ($1000)
