$821 is pretty good for both sides new. They also state it offers a firmer ride...hmmmm..I can appreciate that. My car's rear air springs are clunking bad...maybe I'll get these some day.

Dannngggg.. Those look nice!!

I guess they finally released it. Peace of mind for when your rear struts go out and you want to keep your air suspension.

outrun · 07-05-2012, 01:07 AM

I have never seen a bad rear strut on here, only the fronts. What happens when they go bad? Just slam the rear end to the ground?

justinwrock · 07-05-2012, 02:55 AM

Wanted to toss this out there, my local O'reiley auto parts carries these Arnott struts, well at least the fronts... Last time I checked the price, it was $398 + $100 core.

BBBSS · 07-05-2012, 04:47 AM

My local O'reilly has front arnotts for 506.99 with a $100 core and only a 1 year warranty.

~$50 less direct, and lifetime warranty in my area.

EdoubleNickel · 07-05-2012, 08:28 AM

I dont want to say cant wait to use them!!

urbamworm · 07-05-2012, 08:35 AM

Those look sick, and that is cheaper for the pair than one bag from Benz. I bought a pair of used oem bags off an 06 E55 a while back for like $450 shipped I have sitting in my garage just in case one of mine **** the bed.

I have some kind of leak now that I haven't investigated yet to know if it is a bag or a line somewhere, but my car is slamming itself after 2-3 days if it isn't driven. This is what it looks like with all the air out of the rear.

CLKCLK · 07-05-2012, 09:59 AM

Very peace of mind! Thank you!

pearlpower · 07-05-2012, 11:31 AM

No core on these as they are new. Great to have these out. Perhaps they can put out some stiffer front units. Someone call stat!

berti_00 · 07-05-2012, 11:38 AM

This will put a lot of stress of our mind knowing they have them now... that's awesome

mine does this too. if i leave the car in the raised mode for a long time the car does not sag. if I leave the car in normal or any sport mode after a couple of days sitting it will look like your pic.

TonyC · 07-05-2012, 05:24 PM

yes!!! now we can keep these cars forevre!

Same here, if left in raised mode it will not drop, but if left in comfort or sport mine is sitting on the ground when left over night.

It has to be a line leak some where or other part besides the bags I think. Since both sides of the rear leak out.

AK-AMG · 07-05-2012, 08:42 PM

Holy crap have you seen the installation manual? You might as well rebuild the whole rear end at the same time with new bushes.

Meh, that's only if you do it without disconnecting the reservoirs but if you disconnect the reservoirs you don't have to dismantle half your car.

mrweelr · 07-06-2012, 12:32 AM

That does NOT look like a DIY project, but good to know these are available for a decent price.

Go Arnott direct! I think around $500 with $100 core rebate plus lifetime warranty!

Jon2007E63P30 · 07-06-2012, 02:58 AM

I wonder if the P30 airmatic settings are in a computer or in the component itself.
