Or you can buy coilovers, then you don't need anything extra for the front, and only few things like pins and guides for the rear.

have you completed all the coding already? Any glitches at all? How is the ride, did you go with any sport suspension? What was the total cost?

My technitian did the coding yesterday, took him 3 hours, the major pain was self leveling light coding , becouse steel suspension has sensors in different locations. All I know , that he was able to program the airmatic light sensors to work with steel suspension. The ride is superb, much more precise and solid, I used coilovers, so it is still udjustable))
Not sure about the total price, but it is not more than the price of a used airmatic. Actually, it is a price of coilovers, guides (used in my case) and labors, all other stuff doesn't cost much.

If you don't mind, can you take some pictures of the coilovers on your car? Thanks

This looks promising,
My .02 about the airmatic, was to attempt to put the w212 front coilovers on the w211, but i was still doing research to find out if the mounting points were the same.
If this works long term, that will be great for everyone to upgrade.
