labor to install, not sure, probably a couple hundred..

alignment, camberkit, etc.. those things add up

I would say 5 to 6k is on the high side. I could get AirRex struts with AccuAir management and E-level and power kit for $4,000 shipped for our TL's. Seller (authorized AccuAir dealer) has a shop in Ripon, CA and quote me $600 for install.

PM me for contact info if anyone's interested

Forgot to mention. That's including dual 400C compressors and touch pad unit.

That's what I wanted for my car before, and was quoted either $4,000 or $4,100 shipped.

Don't do it IMO. Functionality does not justify the cost. Think of all the other shit that you could do with that cash.

Don't do it, upgrade to the EDFC active and you'll have a better handling car.

What functionality do you want out of this? Ability to go up and down from the drivers seat?

I just think you'll use it at shows, and for the first few months before you find your comfort zone and stick with it. Coilovers can achieve this for 25% cost... Just my

There's a whole lot more to air than just adjusting the height from the drivers seat. My friend has a GS300 and it's on AirRex struts with AccuAir management and I got to say. The ride is smooth and controlled, would even say OEM/stock ride quality. He had Stance coilovers before air, and height set to mini tire tuck and it wasn't a bad ride quality. But now that he's on air, and have something to compare it too. It's a much more compliant and comfortable ride. Also having the ability to raise the car for those steep driveways or speed bumps, then slam the car when parked is a big plus.

With that out of the way. I was in the same boat when it came to suspension. Either go air and wait for wheels, or go coilovers and wheels. It all depends how deep your pockets are.

Yea sonic MS is one of the got o places around here for Air installs. I believe that speed element also offers air installs.

When I ordered my air suspension I got everything in pieces and then slowly upgraded to having dual compresors with E-Level. my original cost was about $4500 and I did the install myself. I would expect to pay around 4-5000 for a decent air suspension setup.

yea all of the little stuff adds up fast. camber kits and alignments.

Goodbye!

Hey everyone, I know its been a while since I posted on here. I have a sad update for you guys....I wrecked my car back in August '16. I had to deal with insurance for a month and half and I had the car totaled. The car was not economically repairable.

Here's what the car looked like a few days before the accident:




Here it is on the day of the accident:



My wheels, air bags (no management) and exhaust are for sale. PM me.

Yea it does suck. I was getting bored with the car too. I guess this was a blessing in disguise.

I was able to pull the Airbag suspension, Exhaust and wheels. Everything else didn't really matter to me.

Here is the new whip:
