I believe the original air-matic system on my 2012 CLS550 (128Kmiles) is going out. I noticed the left rear of the car was setting way lower than the right side. A quick google search led me to the Air-Matic Air Suspension System. This is the original system that came with the car in 2012. Based on everything I've read the systems are good for about 110-120k miles before they start leaking, or completely failing. I've decided to just replace all four of the air springs. I was looking for suggestions on aftermarket systems that maybe as good as OEM or possibly better than OEM? My understanding is they've had a lot of changes in these systems and are making them better now. Does anyone have a suggestion on what brands to look at? TIA

BB, Thanks for the info. I'm kind of excited about this project. I just want to make sure I'm buying the right products.

Do you have any idea what does labor typically run for this type of job? I'm supplying the parts and a local shop is quoting me 2200.00 Just in labor that seems really high. But I have no idea.

Replace both rears. It really is easy and if one is going, the other isn't far behind.
