Anyone with EAS?

Range Rover Blues:
I don't hear much on the forums about EAS, escpecially on the classic so how many members have it?

Just a tip for you anyway, It has come to my attention that the OE dampers supplied by pretty much every body are actually 2" longer than standard.  Not a problem normally but with air springs this means you cannpt jack the car up under the body without supporting the axle.

Anyway, I've replaced my springs with some Arnott GIII units and even with +2" dampers I'm not getting the full potential travel.  Ride quality is better too.

I have the EAS on my P38, the wife would kill me if I changed it.
I rather like the look of the Arnott springs if I ever need to change but it hardly seems worht changing htem for the hell of it.

Range Rover Blues:
Yeah they are not cheap (let me warn you, i have a set to sell) but they are a hell of a lot better than OE parts, smoother ride etc etc with the added bonus of oodles of extra travel.  The longest dampers I can put on are about +2" and even then I'm not using anywhere near all the available travel.

Thing is I fitted them because I was having a handling problem and didn't want to go to coils, so I had to spend money whichever way and that makes the cost a little easier to 'justify'.

Shame really because if they were cheaper I'm sure they'd sell a lot more.

bobtail4x4:
I got fed up having the air suspers re set and converted to coils

andycwb:
EAS rocks.

I've been able to repair everything that's gone wrong so far, and the only expense has been 2 rear springs at 9 years old.  

Just for curiousity, what's the life expectancy of coil springs?
