Oh.... and an added bonus that I never thought about? Is the ability to lower the car for a more aggressive appearance. Sounds silly, but I use it EVERY SINGLE TIME I turn the car off. It's become part of my shut-down routine, and I don't even think about it.
And.... another added bonus..... is that if you want to go even lower than that.... all you need is a set of $125 drop links.... that can be easily installed by removing only the wheels. No removal of springs, struts, etc is required.
For me..... the air suspension is an absolute no-brainer. Absolutely get it.

That's true. Our roads are horrible. That's why I am so happy with the air suspension. I didn't dare to take the 22 inch like you did. I really hate the shocks of the tires on the connection between concrete plates on B roads over here.
Ps I hope you haven't lived in the Middle East or Africa because that would really make our roads the worst in the world.
And like you mention too I drive an suv for the comfort which is great. If you want a good handeling car better buy something else.
So choosing air suspension or not is very personal. What is floaty for one might be comfortable for another. And I know that sport suspension with 22 inch wheels would drive me crazy but for someone else it would by fantastic.
