If this OEM price is included shock, almost same as in Japan.
But not included shock, very very expensive!
Probably because of the custom duty is crazy.
Maybe in that case i will be going to Arnot Gen2...should be much cheaper, but performance better.

BTW how do you usually maintain your air springs?
I am usually blowing "Rubber Protectant" or "Armor All Protectant" to them around once monthly to prevent oxidization and degradation.
Please refer to below images.
In level 3 or 4, we can suppy it to air springs thruogh the gap between fender and tire without dismantling wheels and tires.
When i access to the rear springs must get underneath of allroad.
This is just like a self-complacency but much cheaper than buying brand new air springs.
So somehow feel like secure my self.
Wainting for someone's opinion.
Thank you for your note!
I've got "sex" with air springs monthly on a service lift. But necessary provide mechanical cleaning before rubber protectant usage.
915 Euro is a price for one front air spring without shock and without service kit.
Custom duty in Russia is crazy - it's true. But high price is a result of dealer's spare part distribution politic. They want to have a profit 100%.

915 Euro only for an air spring?
Really crazy price, almost double in Japan.
Government is problem.
You must direct import from arnot for safety stock.

I have begun to spray the bubber protectant on the air springs without any cleaning around there since one year ago.
And currently looks no problem.
Just like spraying the tire cleaner to tire without washing it.
I am always presonally expecting this is very effective to prevent the blowing out.
One bottl is only around 1 US$ for half year usage!
Just personally recommend it.

Thanks.
