Hey I know air bags suspensions can you let you raise or lower in about a second, but I also know these don't come cheap. Does anyone have an air bag suspension or know about how much it would cost to buy it AND have it installed?
 






My friend is looking into it for his cavalier and he is saying like 2 Gs just for the kit he wants.
 






yea, if you can get parts AND labor done for $2500 or less then you got a deal! (on an X, anyway)
 






hmm

I have owned 4 Range Rovers with the air bag suspension. While it's pretty nice, if you even get a pinhole in any of the air bags, it can lead to problems.
If you catch too much air, you can blow out the bags and then your just driving a low rider.

Not only is the setup expensive, but maintaining or repairing the setup is also an arm and a leg.

I have opted on the latest rover to get a non air suspension model (went with a 92 swb), this way I can actually do some wheeling and not have a huge dollar figure painted on my back.
