I know Airbagit.com have a kit for the 8. But they are located in Phoenix.
I am going to LA in october.
Anyone who knows the driving distance between LA and Phoenix?

Don't do it. You'll regret it! Your steering will be off, your 8 will ride like a cadillac. Over time your air bags will leak no matter what kit you buy or who installed. It's expensive and a pain in the ***. Air bags look sick as hell but as a daily driver i wouldn't reccomend it. If it were a show car that was driven twice a year then go for it.

Phoenix to LA...I'm guessing 350-400 miles depending on where in LA you're going to.

Even if you were going to use it for show, you are actually going to install the entire air ride system before the show then take it completely off for the track? Not to mention the air compressors?
