Custom Rear airbags for NON-Selflevelling E53

[oztme]

Hi Guys,

I have an E53 that has regular spring + shocker suspension : not self levelling air suspension.

My question is, has anybody successfully fitted aftermarket airbags into the suspension of their E53? There's a product here in Australia called Polyair, who make bags that you put inside the regular suspension spring, and pump air into them using a car pump, if you need to lift up the back of your car a little. The regular springs still stay in place.

Polyair don't make them for E53 X5's. I emailed some places in USA and got same "no" answer.

Anyone able to help here? I can't justify the large $ that would be involved in a retrofit of self levelling, and from what I read, they're a bit of a reliability/maintenance headache..

I've attached a photo of a airbag inside a spring off some other car (Nissan?) { which looks like a big of a dodgy install actually! }

Cheer + thanks,
Scott.
