Reply With Quotedo these have the same suspension design (minus airbags) of any of its toyota cousins?
LOL
My rear airbags arrived today from NZ, I highly recommend Rory at Rutherford & Bond Toyota spare parts really helpful. These would have been around $1000 each from my local toyota dealer, ended up just over $500 each inc postage. Im not really looking forward to putting them in though.

The lower spec celsiors and lexus ls400's come with just springs and shocks and cheap coilovers are available, I just didn't want another harsh riding daily.

I fitted the new rear airbags today, it was a massive pain as heaps of interior trim had to be removed. The old bags were completely stuffed but the new ones feel great. Im hoping to have this ready to tow my KE to the HR annuals at mallala.

Hey mate, whats the best way to contact the boys at Rutherford and Bond?
I need all new struts before I start towing anything with my Celsior, mine dumps air no matter where I park it! had it sitting on a gutter the other day
Just send an email to , Rory or one of the other guys there will help you out.

I wouldn't bother putting another set of bags in if you're going to tow with it.
I've done the research, and it will last long enough for me to get a couple of years out of it, I've never owned a car longer than a couple of years, I looked into getting aftermarket bags that are rated to carry heavier loads but that's the difference between $1000 for genuine, and $2500 for something that won't ride as nice as genuine but will last longer.
besides I don't plan on doing a lot of towing.
as stated before the boys at Rutherford & Bond are highly recommended, I ordered 4 new airbags coming in at just over $2200, Nunawading Toyota wanted over $3600 for the same kit! and would make me wait 30 days to get them!
I had an air pump failure on the way to work last wednesday, it dumped all the air out the system and wont pump back up now. I managed to limp it to work on the bump stops, hopefully get a chance to look at it over the weekend ad see what the problem is.
