I completed the swap of the front suspension airbags this morning in about 1:30 and it was really easy.

Got a quote from the dealer for roughly $4,000 do the job!

I ordered the Arnott bags for $300 a piece ( oem ones were $1200 a piece! ) and bham ! Done for around $600.

The construction quality of these aftermarket bags is incredible compared to the joke the OEM plastic ones are. Car self leveled in about 3 seconds and right back on the road I was! CNC aluminum top is incredibly solid and much cleaner. Arnott is really easy to order from as well. Great folks. There is an option for ordering the whole strut assembly but honestly assembling the bags onto your lower strut part is 10 seconds top so I would pass on that.



Anyone who has any hesitation about doing this DO NOT! It can totally be done. A good jack and couple of jack stands and a small impact wrench. Super easy.
