New front airbags, and likely the compressor if it's making a lot of noise. Go w/ Arnotts for lifetime warranty.

Advice to you. Use advanced search feature under drop down threads menu upper right. There is a plethora of air suspension threads. You'll even find a day-old post by me with tech documents for the air suspension. The car is complicated. Search, read, and learn about the systems and you'll answer most of your own questions. I very strongly suggest you search on "fuel pump relay maintenance" and "fuel pump replacement verify parts" before your car leaves you stranded on the side of the road.

You could go with struts and replace all of them...
