Suspension & head light leveling are two completely separate systems.  :y  :y
Self levelling dampers have a small (4mm?) airline out of the side of them that eventualy go forward to the compressor under the front nearside wing/bumper

only vx make the self level shocks for the omega. Cheapest way to get them is with a trade club card. See link below. Its £20 a year by dd and gives substantial savings on retail prices on most service items.
Mine where £150 a pair with tc card. 300 without, or there abouts for my saloon. Not sure on the Estate.
