Default Air suspension LS, reliability and longevity?

I love the features and ride of the air suspension, thinking about getting a LS with it, but a little worry about it's reliability and longevity.

I have done the search and read some threads about the air suspension, I still got a mix feeling about it's reliability and longevity. But it is more good then bad.

I plan to own and drive the car to 150k miles.

Can everyone share their experience with their air suspension? Both good and bad opinions please. Please be details with the problems you have and the cost to repaired it.

Also please post the current mileage on your car.

Thank you very much

No issues but if there was, I've got the extended factory warranty that will take care of it

This air suspension thing has been beaten to death. Overall, I believe its as reliable as any other component. Sometime things just break and when it does, the cost of it can be overbearing.
