Default What are my rear suspension options?

My rear strust (pneumatic height adjusting) don't work. The rear end is spongy and floating. The height adjustment hasn't worked since i got the car 5 years ago. Should I trouble shoot the whole suspension and replace a bunch of parts (is it worth it?) or can I buy a conversion to switch it regular rear struts?

I had an '84 Tornado once that had the auto level(aka pneumatic height adjusting) shocks. I replaced them with normal shocks and I couldn't tell the difference(other than it road a whole lot better and I disconnected the air compressor).
