What do you think about the Bridgestone's Praxis suspension
I was reading about this air suspension system and I've been very interested in it. What do you guys think in terms of utility, reliability, and personal experiences? I just wonder how it would handle different loads, in terms of carrying people and bringing luggage? You guys think this is worth $3,695? Tell me what you think.

To me, this is a pricey upgrade. If I were in this position, I would consider JIC...they have a well proven product at a lower price point.
I dunno the longevity of the airbag systems. I have some friends with a Lincoln Continental that have gone through 2 sets of airbags in 120K miles. They drive the car long distance and the wife told me she wishes it had the conventional spring system. One of the bags failed on a 2K trip and they were laid up in a desolate shop for 2 days while the part was shipped in. I believe she said it was $1,200 each occurrence. If considering these air bags, I'd be curious what a replacement would cost.
