Default Coillover conversion question

Has anybody switched over to coilovers on their x351? If so, did you do just the front and keep the rear on air? Anybody know about how it feels ride etc. Just thinking of just doing the fronts and then put the adjustable links on the rear to lower the rear because I don't have access to STD...

??? Your XJ has air suspension in front???

And why would you want access to an STD?

To clarify,

The X351 has coil springs on the front, and air on the back as standard.

The X350 had air all round.

I haven't heard of anyone having any reason to swap out the air shocks on their X351. And I don't need an STD.

Sorry guys, the edit button didn't work. Don't know why so I know I sound like an idiot LOL. Yes I was going to get the lowering links for the rear and thinking of doing the adjustable coilovers for the front to get the height I'm looking for... Has anybody done this setup before?

I thought I read somewhere that the very early X351's had air suspension in the front until they switched to coils.

No more than any of us from time to time.
I know I've seen some posts of others that have gotten into lowering their X351. I can't point you to the posts though since we're fine with the stock configuration.
