    Air ride suspension issue

    so for the last few weeks I have noticed that my front end sinks down to almost touching the wheels when my car has been sitting overnight, I can open a door and bump the vehicle and it will right itself to the correct level 1 setting, the rear looks like it is a bit above where it should be sitting as well. but again, regulates itself, especially when the key is in ignition, I haven't noticed so far if this happens when it is in level 2,3 or 4. Wife said a CEL came on, but later found out it was the ESP signal, then went away. no issues changing levels at all. Last VCDS scan before this only stated I have a brake boost leak, which is going to be fixed soon.

    You have a front airbag leak, it's normal for the car to try and level itself when the door opens.

    Yup. Should get those replaced (or just swap coilovers) before the leak causes your compressor to go out from fighting a losing battle.

    Wife doesn't want coilovers, she wanted this car for the ability to raise and lower it. Looks like i will be looking for replacement ones.

    What do these normally run used? I see they go for anywhere from 89 - 180 a piece for fronts.

    Meissler bags on ebay, have been getting good reviews. They are rebuilt using OEM cores which in my opinion beats the arnott design.
