Have any of you tried the Suncore (ebay) front and rear Airmatic suspension replacements? I need another new Airmatic compressor to the tune of $500 and I'm tired of fooling with the Airmatic suspension. For less money I can install struts with coil springs which should be maintenance free.

Thank you for that offer. I'm waiting to hear back from Arnott about replacing the compressor I bought from them several months ago.

Even if they send me a new one I may go with the Suncore suspension kit as I couldn't care less about having Airmatic (my wife's 2006 ML350 doesn't have it). I just want the four corners to stay at a decent ride height and I don't want to have to deal with air bags, hoses, relays and compressors.

I'm determined to get another 70k miles ( it will then have 200k on it, 100k of which I will have put on) out of this car without spending a small fortune, or one dime, at the dealership. Once the warranty has run out these cars are unaffordable money pits unless you're a DIYer like me. If it survives to 200k it won't have much resale value and I will feel I have gotten my $12,000 of use out of it.

I believe the Arnott purchased compressor should have a limited lifetime warranty, so hopefully there won't be any replacement expense.

Yup, even though I purchased my Arnott compressor from my local NAPA store I am getting a new replacement at no charge.
