Depends if you want one new or 2nd hand. Brand new your look at around 450bucks, They pop up all the time tho for much less 2nd hand. My mate had one up forsale for 300 but not sure if he still has it. I can find out for you if you wish.

Send me an email.

I've been told they ruin the bushes though... so be careful

The trick is, pick your most used ride height, then get the control arm bushes released and re-tightened along with a 4-wheel alignment. That will have the bushes centred at your desired height and reduce the twisting stress on them.

If you don't and then eg drive with the car dumped all the time, then even when standing still the bushes are being stressed badly, then more so when you go over bumps.

The suspension controller I have is one of the older type , I like as it gives you 3 pre-sets plus individual control as well , best of all though is it has a TEMS switch on it which can harden it up again over the sport mode , very handy !!
They can be had for a bit less than the later models and in my opinion they are better .
Have sourced two of these for mates so far .

I'll be converting from airbags to springs within the next month and putting my height controller up for sale if your not in a hurry Glen (or Ryan). Its a DataSystems ASG-63x:

I would assume it is compatible with the Celsior as well.

They are, but the wiring harness isnt. Why don't you just lower the car yourself with out the height controller by adjusting the height sensors.

i tried adjusting mine once before and it did nothing. any idea why nothing happened i put the back and fronts exactly the same to the millimetre but still nothing changed. the suspension controller is my last resort

Hey do you reckon a second hand controller for $180 is a bargain??

Glen i can get you an air controller in , there's one for sale at the moment with the TEMS extra hardness and 3 preset plus individual adjustment setting and with freight would be around the $200.00 mark .

I have tried almost every model of air controllers in my celsior, the best ones of the Data Systems ones are the new models (normally able to tell as the covers are silver) if there black they are the older models and don't have all the functions as the newer ones do.

Another good brand which you don't see much which I am currently using is a Field Controller.
