Whats the final verdict for rear air suspension failure?
Has anyone had their rear air suspension go out when out of warranty? I know the front can be fixed relatively easy but how about the rear?

I had a rear air spring failure, but was covered under warranty. I know that isn't what you wanted to hear. But the good news is that Arnott is working on the development of a rear air spring. I would give them a call.

Had both fronts go out this year and both were replaced by Arnott struts. Easy to do if you have STAR. Rears are going out on me now but I heard from Adam Arnott that they should have rears available very soon. Not sure how much work is involved in replacing the rear air springs.

Anyone ever ride in a E350 with the steel suspension? I wonder if it is any softer than our C, S1 or S2? If you dont have the cheese set aside for the coilovers when your suspensions goes out, I bet you could get E350 suspension dirt cheap, and throw those suckers in there.
