Alternative to dealer for airmatic failure...
Saw this company on another forum thought it might be useful......

http://www.arnottinc.com/part_MERCED...rts_yid18.html

Seems to be the least expensive option thus far. They are also working on a coilover setup to replace the airmatic altogether. I have ZERO affiliation, and know nothing about them. I just saw this on another forum and figure I would share. Hope it can help someone out.

I used them, its a great company, fast shipping and they let you hold onto your core at first, so your car isnt sitting on jack stands while you wait for parts.

not to mention its life time warranty so you cant go wrong.

Need to start a petition to get them to make some rears. $399 each for the fronts is very affordable.
