Bagging Soarers is free at the time with high subsequent cost in received invective.

Putting air suspension in Soarers not having it as factory standard can be done. Search will reveal previous discussions and pricing thereon, or you could look up the yellow pages and request a quote from a firm in your area.

Putting air bags in Soarers is normally done only where they are previously fitted. I believe a 1991 model has one. Has yours blown? Hit anything recently?

Silicone enhancements are not normally described as air.

I bag my Soarer in a full car cover nightly.

I use a soft brush and pressure hose rather than a hessian bag when washing it.

Neither Bilbo nor Frodo drove a Soarer.

I think I am running out of options, or have something else I desperately need to do right now.

I searched for "air suspension aftermarket" here and on the ALSC archive. It is possible to fit a UZZ31 system with an aftermarket controller or to buy a fast-acting aftermarket system, possibly without effective damping. Prices around $5,000 are mentioned but had I been more thorough I may have found a vaguely-recalled reference to a Sydney place which has systems around $3,000. I found also in the yellow pages in Brisbane a few suspension places at least one of which mentioned air-based height control in its advertising. You could enquire with one of them, or a search of the Sydney directory would doubtless show up more who may be able to offer some advice on options over the telephone.

I mentioned both Search and yellow pages in my first response and only then went on to be a bit flippant. A little self-help helps, as will re-awakening your latent prowess with punctuation.

S/H ?
Did the setup come off a Soarer?
Was it one of the "plug n Play" units?
I have fairly good mechanical skills, would i be able to install myself? (what level of skill do you have?)
I guess it couldn't be that hard, would be a bit of a bitch the rout all the air lines though.

yeah it was 2nd hand, out of a V8 soarer.

Basically, if you can rip suspension out and put new struts back in, you should be right. The wiring would be a nightmare if you didnt know how to follow a wiring diagram though.

Soarers have to have air-cylinders, and not air-bags as theres no room for them to inflate.
