Air-techs are on shelves and Firestone's are made to order I read here. The Airtechs look like a pretty established European co. Mark or Sully, Anyone? Anyone?

I ordered from the Airspring Store using the Firestone P/N. In 2 days I had the Airtech bags in hand. They appear to fit the Firestone drawing on Sully's write-up. Did a little reading on Airtech and they appear to be tied in deeply with BMW and Mercedes, among others. Original manufacturing was in Turkey and they have been making air springs for some 70 years. I think I saw that they now have a manufacturing facility in the Dallas, TX area. They show a price for the bag, P/N 39294, of $128, then a discounted price of $118. I ordered 2 and they came out at $226 for the pair with free shipping.
