R320cdi Suspension Conversion to Strutmasters Kit

I have a 2007 R320cdi with less than 70k miles and 4 corner Airmatic. I have enjoyed the car for years now but have had to replace the front air bags 3 times now and the rears once. I have Arnotts on all 4 corners now. They are good about the warranty but i hate eating shop charges every 1-2 years replacing bags. I found this coiler conversion kit for $1k.

Anyone have experience with their product?
How easy will the install be?
Am I creating other problems by doing the conversion?
How will it ride afterwards? (I know I wont have adjustability anymore)

Thanks in advance for your help.

Wondering if you converted?

I have similar situation with my 2011 R350. I watched the Strutmasters video and almost jumped when they said they had technical advisors to help with any codes thrown by the car after conversion. It was, for me on this repair, cheaper to order the front and rear struts (rear from Arnotts) and replace with the current system. Haven't owned the car long, but I am interested in knowing if anyone has done this conversion with Strutmasters for future reference.
