Looking around 3-4k installed i would imagine. How come you thinking air bags though?

Just curious. Seen a accord with it the other day. Looked pretty cool. Also wouldnt have to worry too much about driveways

I would almost double that.

I would almost double that.

Look around there's some kits on the net for about 2.5k

For a full FBSS kit with self levelling (required to be legal) and signed off by an engineer, burning customs or tubular suspensions will quote you around 8k depending on options.

There are universal kits that require cutting and welding of struts, running air lines into the cabin (vs electronic valves)etc, but it's a big job and ultimately you get what you pay for.

I used to spend a lot of time on VIPstylecars forum when I was into that scene, and planned to bag my ls400. The ksport kits, surprisingly, have an ok rep. But most people end up putting better compressors on, upping the line size and going to electronic management, so you could maybe get away with for 5k......if you install yourself, and it won't be roadworthy.

If I were you, I'd get the struts overseas, and buy all the management here. In the event that something does go wrong, at least it's easy to pick up on warranty etc.

I'm looking into air suspension too and with my list of things to buy for it, it's just about 5k

8-9k if you want to do it properly.

I have Air in my V

Running Airrex and Accuair.
