Air bag suspension on a 300SD

I accedentyl stumbled on a air bag suspension on eBay, so my idea was to replace the spring to a air bag and replace the shock to a medium strenght. I am also thinking on making it adjustable by installing a small air compressor with a air tank and use a custom made inflate and deflate valve. My question is what is the radius of the spring and the height of the spring (when its not installed) for the front and rear. This is an idea.... What do u think. Also this would be the cheapest SLS replacement IMO AND I AM NOT TRYING TO BE A LOW RIDER.
Here is an example on a W126 coupe
