Guys, just looking around for some coilovers and stumbled across this.

What are peoples opinions about it?
Worth it or not?

I saw these just the other day too. I'm interested to know how they are compared to normal coilovers/air suspensions?

I found a video of the air force suspension in action:

You can get several air suspension retailers to order airbag shocks with the correct ends on them, to your specs, for about $400 US each.

How big are aftermarket suspension air tanks and parts? This looks fairly chunky, since it's going in the boot.

Scott,
I have emailed Tony from Luxurymods about this, the dimensions for the box are:
19 3/8"(L) x 10 5/8"(W) x 11"(H)
The box weighs 32lbs with a full tank of air.
The system costs AUD $2932.46.
Just waiting to here back on freight to Townsville.

Sorry Sebastian,
Never went any further.
I wish that these were out 2yrs ago when I bought new airbags for my 31.

Airbagit.com have an air suspension kit for the sc's for roughly 2400. This is a US company so freight is expensive but at the moment they are offering free postage which is a significant saving. If you can install it yourself they're not much more than good coilovers with edfc.

edfc only adjusts damper from inside the cabin. those kits on airbagit would also let you adjust the height of the vehicle from inside aswell.

if you were wanting it for show id go with an airbag kit, but if you wanted performance, id go with the coilovers and the edfc.
