Correct. It's a custom designed air suspension utilizing OEM (electronically dampened) shock/struts, and a fully hidden install to retain full cargo area usage and spare tire (see pics below). System is AccuAir Elevel with 4 ride height settings: 1)stock 2)city cruise 3)highway cruise and 4)aired out. It's on the 4th setting in the pics above with the bags completely deflated. It makes for fun photos and and to get my wife to roll her eyes, but the car is not drivable in this setting (the car pops up to stock with the push of a button and I have 2 low/extra low settings in between).

I also colored matched the bumper markers and went with gloss black mirror housings. It's APR stage 1 flashed and I have BC Forged 3-piece wheels and OEM S4 brakes getting installed in a few weeks

Holy **** man, that tank/compressor setup is legit. That fully hidden setup, man I can't get over that.
Is that a 10 gallon tank?
Also, do you think those stock shocks and struts will actually hold up for long? How do those ride at such low heights?
I will probably eventually go air on my allroad, but I think it'll end up being a full setup by AirLift Performance. Any drilling in the rears for access to ports to the bags? I don't even have my allroad now, but I did have to drill holes for my A7's rears.

It's usually around $3,000-4,0000 for struts/shocks/bags, tank, compressor, wiring, management.
I've done an install myself in less than 2 days, with no access to lifts and what not (running air lines under the car on jack stands is a PIA). Then finding somewhere to get switched hot power and what not can be a little tedious if you don't have a wiring diagram.
There is currently no kit available for the B9's so you'd have to wait until something was available or do a custom setup like what was done here.

Impressive. I may not agree with the "look" but I am on board with all of the components and the work it took to get here. S4 brakes are next for me, too. Haven't had time to install the kit yet but I hope they look good behind the HREs. The stock calipers on these cars are really nice but could use some color.
