They look good, but I don't see any height adjustment.

Did you ever do the conversion? How did it go? My driver side rear does not go up when you hit the "vehicle rise" button, plus I'm getting the Visit Workshop Soon warning with the up arrow. I'm asking because I am close enough to Strutmasters HQ and can have them do the installation of their own kit for only $200 plust $1,400 for the coil spring conversion kit. My '06 E55 has 142k miles on it, and it seems cheaper to swap out the whole air system now than to fix it piecemeal as everything breaks down.

Go on partsgeek.com and order Arnott. Cheapest place ive seen them and quick delivery. It will ride good on coils , but nothing beats air suspension. Make sure u hear your air pump - pump , in the front.

Since someone else revived this thread I don't feel too bad commenting

Do you get the lifetime warranty if you buy Arnotts through partsgeek?
