Default Air Suspension

I am looking for a car such as this and it seems very interesting, But I am worried about the air suspension set up. Is anybody aware of a similar swap out of the original OEM his suspension for one like this? Other questions are:
How does this affect value?
Is the work invisible inside the car (and boot)?
Can it still be controlled through the MMI?
Does it handle as well as or better than original OEM kit?

If anybody could help me on these points I think it would be worth taking a look!

Hi

Don't be put off by the aftermarket air suspension, is has come a long way since audi introduced it back in 2008 on this S8.

It handles and feels better than it did with on OEM suspension, it has better adjustability and has 6 months remaining on warranty.

Guys in the US have been running similar setups for the last 6-8 years, with no issies, believe me I've done my research before deciding to spend £5500 on this kit!!!

Have a read up yourself

Air suspension has been around for decades before car manufacturers decided to bring them into the passenger vehicle market.

I have replaced the 10 year old struts and bag, compressor, air line, valves, tank etc


For trouble free motoring
