it get expensive when u have to mod things!! i was quoted 5 grand to get my kombi done by a professional shop!!! but obviously it depends on things like
compressor size
tank size
if you have indepentant valves on each corner etc
of course in a beetle alot of time and money is invested in moding the body/floorpan to fit it all in but not impossible!!
also depends on the lift/drop you want to achieve

Its also expensive to maintain.....shocks on my old subaru were alot to replace when they finally wear. My mate recently bought a 99 Range Rover, and 2 weeks after he got it the pump went on the suspension..$4000 later he wishes he got the Landcruiser.

Is it only available on a Mcpherson strut front end?
