We've been thinking along similar lines. The best price I've found on Craigslist locally is $700 for the bag over struts. The ones I've found have been overkill for a 7 weight car.
OOMPH! $700 is more expensive than I've seen for sure. They've been floating in the $3-400 range for a set of four used in decent shape. You are certainly right though.. absolute overkill - 3 - 5k lb load ratings. May end up being too squishy, or way too hard depending on the amount of air involved.
Are you on Facebook? I've been lurking in our local "euro" car group.. the VW/Audi guys seem to change their suspension more than they shower. It seems there is always a deal to be had there.
I'm going to diddle around with some graph paper, and a pen and see if I can't figure out a way to get an independent strut/bag system working. The rear should be super easy, considering I'm using a solid rear axle and an s10 donor. I think the S truck platform is one of the most bagged vehicles on the road
The fronts are what worry me. Not enough real estate for a bag and strut. Well.. Maybe I'd be able to cut my cost in half. Bag over in the front and bag out in the rear.
hmm.
