Isn't the Air system just there to keep ride height? or would it let the car bounce up and hit down harder? I have the Magnetic shocks. I know I had to do that with my Deville when my compressor bought it. where did you pass your air line and filler valve stem?
Magnetic ride control problem.
was wondering if anyone know about this. I have a 2007 STS4 ISG I believe it is, as it has every option. Plus it's mountain laurel pearl pink. 
(former Mary Key car). Bought it for the G/F. When going over bumps, the rear end bottoms out. the front still feels fine. There are no codes and nothing comes up on the DIC, and I can see no leaks. Feels like the shocks don't work. could both have gone bad at once? Do they do that when they go bad? It doesn't even restrict me to 80MPH. I have 143.760 KM -89328.3 miles on it. And of course the warranty went out 2 months ago lol. Anyone have ideas? help would be much appreciated.

Well it's my 3rd Caddy with air ride that the Compressor let go, so good chance that is what is wrong. But since I'm not familiar with the MRC system I want to make sure. when I drive it it feels like there is nothing there but the spring. You hit a bump and the car keeps bouncing for a ways.
Ya good chance I will have to start looking around for one. I've had good luck with GMpartsdirect. I'm waiting fo confermation but looks like they sell the MRC shocks for 336 each for rear .http://www.gmpartsdirect.com/catalog/frameset.cfm and type in shock STS, w/variable time damping.but they call it variable time damping, would that be the same? they just E-mailed me and said it is the same part the part # is 15148390
Yes they do seam a high price but if that is the same part I can live with that price.
Yes I heard that Cadillac repaints them, I don't know how this one made it past? When I types in the vin at GM it was the only pink one with all these option made that year. I'm sure they are not cheap to maintain but the but the price was right. 15.000 was still under Cadillac warranty and had extended warranty....that ran out 2 months ago lol. But I do love the how it handles in the corners
Yup The part # he gave me matches up with the one on the site I was on. and at 337 dollar's each I'd say that aint bad. I must be very unlucky if both went darn lol.
I had Extended warranty It ran out 2 months ago and i'm not paying the 4000+ for another one that's for sure I'll just put the money away in another account and have for when it breaks down. Once i have either my car or hers paid off i'm getting her another one and us the STS for summer fun only
Ya with my other 2 it was the shock ,then the compressor gave up the ghost.And with these you can't just get the bladder you have to get the whole shock
