for a camaro setup, it would take pretty much everything in this kit. price was around 2-3k i think a couple of years ago. depends where someone could cut corners such as buying parts from a forum. minitruckers always have stuff for sale. i would definitely go this route and change out the components for any better parts available now that wasn't around when this kit was assembled.
airride will have to have a a good size tank which will take up space unless there is a superfast compressor i don't know of. chances are you'd need two compressors, this will take up space as well.
here's a price list. http://www.ridetech.com/wizard/resul...t&model=Camaro

You can build a cost effective and better performing system than the Air Ride for way less money. This is from my $350 front bag thread.
So for a Super Low Buck setup that you can adjust from inside the car:
2 Aero Sport Bags with mount kit $400
2 Rear bags $120-$140
8 3/8" electric valves are $220
2 dual needle guages $50-$60
1 3 gallon chrome tank $50
1 Viair 380 compressor 200psi $184
1 pressure switch $20
75ft of 3/8 air line $28
This adds up to $1,102 bucks. That just leaves the cost of the fittings. What do 3/8" fittings typically cost?

I lost some ground clearance after putting in my custom turbo kit. I have the Horsepower TV episode with the SS Camaro and like that set up. I'm considering that kit end of the year. Another option for me is to put in a tubular K-member allowing me to run my piping over the crossmember. I will continue my homework on the Airride set up as it would give me an adjustable set up for track days, auto Xs, street driving or low speed cruising.

I think if we can get some videos of the car riding low and them lifting to go up a steep driveway and then dropping back down like it's no big deal, people will say "Hey, that's awesome. I want to be able to do that as well". Air suspensions can be very practical, we just don't see videos of the practical side. All we see is dancing and bouncing cars.
