I was looking to put air suspension on my 97 SC300 and was wondering what you guys recommend and or have. Just need ideas and max price I would say would be $2500. Thanks.

Do you daily drive the car?
Are you starting from a stock suspension?
Do you plan on trying to install this yourself and if so are you or a friend good at metal fabrication?


If you can handle the install yourself and REALLY shop around for parts (maybe some used parts) you might get out for $2500. I haven't priced it extensively for these cars but most good quality systems (i.e. reliable) I've seen on other cars are north of $4000 for parts alone.

For $2,500 your best bet would be piecing together a kit with UAS bags and regular shocks. A very basic manual setup could probably be done within your budget if you DIY. Labor to install air isn't cheap and it usually takes a few days.

I would recommend spending a bit more and pairing the bags with a good set of coilovers or looking into purchasing a complete coilover/bag setup like airrex. It's a bit more expensive (I think $4k +), but once you consider coils would be $1k +, the wiring is already done, and it comes with management it looks like a much better deal.
