You will be looking at around £1200+ for a good setup.

Sorry was this including install or just for the kit?

As above. Installation adds between £500-1000 on to that price.

airbagit.com will do a diy kit for £1200, or if you went to Havair, it'll be £2k plus £200 fitting.

Funnily enough, no.

C4RBD wasn't to be seen, and I think one of the Westside bwoys has it on the R32'd, but it was sitting at a 'normal' ride height.

I'll admit that after driving 160miles to and from Players mine didn't catch once, so I may give it a miss and put the money towards a new engine.  :wink:

Pricey yes. Still confused on the management side of things, what does what etc...

I only saw 2 on air ride but sick of catching the exhaust and front bumper. I use this daily and have to plan my routes to avoid speed humps etc.

CBF to raise it and lower it all the time.  :evil:

Quite low, probably as low as Blue, but I don't use mine every day. 

And I know what you mean about the components for air-ride, as I deal with air suspension on a daily basis and the likes of compressors, tanks, bags and lines are as cheap as chips, so I suppose it must be down to the cost of building the struts.
