Is there any other options in the rear suspension other than replacing the air shocks and compressor because both are shot on mine? I've been looking into the Monroe rear conversion kit didn't know if that's worth the money or not? Let me know guys thanks

Yeah, there are a couple.
Replacement - Not that expensive if your get the compressor from a salvage yard and buy new Monroe MA822's.
Manual Fill - Get new shocks and an air line kit. Run the fill valve to your trunk and add air as needed.
Conversion - You're already researching this. I would say ~$100 would be worth it, but I don't have first-hand experience...
Custom Coil-overs - $$$.

Mine has a conversion kit installed by previous owner. I don't like it and miss the nice ride I had wIth my previous Aurora.

I saw they have bags to replace the springs. Anyone do this?

I do not believe those replace the coil springs but you put them inside the coil springs for added ride handling under heavy loads. Also not sure how you'd get air to them. Maybe manual fill.

IMNSHO - replace the compressor and shocks (lines and mounts as well) - the ride/handling is not the same. It only money!  ...gene |

I used the Gabriel brand air shocks for the rear on my 02 Aurora and I could put air in them if I wanted or let air out in order to adjust the rear height of the car. I liked it car still rode good.
