Make you sure get a qualified installer, and that they have done air suspension in the past. It's not hard to install, but there are small things that can make a big difference in the future.

The system is as reliable as it is installed, with that being said it is very reliable. Through snow or during the hottest summers, it can endure it. Comfort and performance depends on the struts you get, if they are adjustable then you can tailer it to be comfortable or stiff if you want.

That is great! The car looks amazing slammed. I am going to be using a custom strut/bag construction made by Boden from Cali. If you are going to just put a bag over strut maybe you should get kw suspension shock.

Which coils do you recommend for W205 ? Mine is a 4matic ( not airmatic ) I'd like some recommendations please.
Thanks

Anyways, I dropped the car at the shop last night.. They need it for 2 days I think... They mentioned 6-8 hours to install and then the next day to check if they need to pull fenders etc..

so nothing ever comes easy.... Turns out that despite buying the struts from accuair china or their dealer here the structs dont fit the 4matic. However I have a good shop that helps me. They have sent the OEM struts to Taiwan to a company that does custom coils. They will make a brand spanking new set of coils for my 4matic. The first they have ever produced. This company actually have a tie up with accuair china so they are interested in getting this model produced. Should get the new custom coils mid next week from Taiwan and get the system installed.
This means that if it really fits there is a fix for other 4matic drivers out there who wants air suspension.

Wow looks great! Can't wait to see your car bagged, it's gonna look sick! Unfortunately for our cars there are no a lot of parts out. My struts/bags had to be built to order as well. Not many bagged c classes yet, so it will be unique in that aspect.

keep in mind that you can raise the car higher than OEM. The reason why i bought this system is because the roads here are absolutely crap.. So if I want to go low I do that. If I want to go high I just push 3 and its like a 4x4
