01-07 C230 on air

Anyone currently with an air suspension please post your set up and tech specs. I'm looking at how I can go air in the front. There are universal bags that will go over the shock body (depending on what shock/coilover size you're running), but I am not able to find out if they can be used with our stock top bearing. These cars use a v style coil spring, which is proving to be a pita to find anyone who makes a shorter spring. The coilovers out there for our cars just don't fit my needs for the fronts. Help/info/ideas please?
