You can get universal airbag kits from suppliers such as Air Ride Suspension from around $2,395. These kits would require a bit of custom work to make them fit however. Otherwise you can import a kit over from the States, such as an Air Runner kit which is a complete swap over, but these kits cost USD$4,293 plus however much it would be to import it. Legality wise for those in Queensland:

http://www.transport.qld.gov.au/resources/...difications.pdf

Queensland Transport will not permit the fitting of replacement/additional air bag or hydraulic suspension systems to vehicles that allow the driver to raise and lower all or some corners of the vehicle for show purposes.

Suspension replacements may be approved if they:

· Are a direct replacement or addition to the existing suspension;

· Do not alter the ride height of the vehicle by more than one-third of suspension travel specified by the vehicle manufacturer;

· Maintain regulated ground clearance requirements;

· Maintain control of ride height within strict requirements (No manual height control and maintain the ride height when parked).

As for other states, if no one has got any info, you may need to ring around and do some research. Apparently in NSW they have the ability to be mod-plate approved.

If you're in NSW, head to Tubular Suspension, up near Hornsby way...

He will custom make, install and engineer your bags all in one stop :) ...

I got quoted bout $6500 drive in drive out fully engineered, thats for mostly Australian/USA made products

not cheap made in china kits that you can get for round $2500

I've been for a ride in a bagged Chrysler 300C and at the normal cruising height the ride was beautiful.

Like you were riding on a cloud of air, it was only bumpy when you jacked it up higher to go over speed humps

when there was more pressure in the bags.

Its not really for handling tho like for taking corners fast, just for cruising round

[VF-X]

6,500 is way over the edge... 3,000 would still be reasonable...
