lowryder, dronellis, other slammed CLK's - air bags

To all you guys that are into the slammed CLK's, why don't you get airbags? You could have the completely slammed look, but still be able to go up driveways and have a soft ride. Bags have been popular on every kind of slammed car, but I have never seen a bagged CLK. Is there a particular reason for this? Do you not want to hurt the resale value of the car, or is it too hard to have them installed on the CLK?

Just curious

Are you talking about an air ride suspension? like the Airmatic systems on the bigger benz?

The ride is harsh with airbags, plus it's quite expensive for a good setup. I thought about doing it but I don't have that kind of money.

I was told it would start at $6k because everything for the CLK would have to be fabricated. There is no kit available.

i think my cup kit rides good, even with 1/2 coil cut and #1 pads, and I think it brings it down just right. Still plenty of ground clearance, no rubbing on turns, and great ride!

I'll have air ride on my CLK as soon as I find a good shop. I'll be sure to post pics.
