WTB Rear Airmatic

I went out to the garage today after I let the car sit for a week and it was dropped all the way to the floor at all four corners. I recently replaced the front with Arnott so I'm assuming this is the first sign of the rears on there way out so I'm trying to get ahead of the problem and get a set of rear bags before I need them.
That said I'd prefer a set of Arnott's if anyone has them laying around or a better condition set of factory rears. Either way please PM me with what you have and a price.

Partsgeek.com looks like they have the Arnotts for $595.63 for the pair.

So just watched the video on removing the factory springs. That is alot of work

If you buy the Arnotts does anyone just leave the air reservoir and cut the line to it, so they don't have to drop the entire subframe? Looks like the Arnotts don't use an additional reservoir.

It's not worth the trouble to use stock rear air springs. It's too much work.

Yes, You can leave the reservoir and just replace the springs. See the new Installation Manual here: http://arnottinfo.com/manuals/A-2724.pdf
