Suspension question

Hi all,

Has any one changed their air suspension to coil suspension?

I haven’t had my suspension replaced (she is a 2006) but as I’m currently spending an absolute fortune on her at the moment I don’t know weather to get OEM suspension placed in or change to coil’s?

Helps me please and advice would be appreciated.

Stick with the air set up!!

Contrary to popular belief ts actually very reliable, but it is all too often neglected for simple maintenance which causes problems throughout. Exactly what suspension problems are you experiencing that influence your abandoning the EAS system? yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Stick with air

Can't understand why people are reluctant to pay for replacement air bags because they have perished and sprung a leak.
Consider how many miles/years they have covered...probably since the car was built and compare that with the life of tyres which operate in similar conditions (Except cornering/braking) which are replaced without a thought. They are out of sight and probably out of mind-until they pack up Whistle
Secondly, the original air bags which were fitted to the RR P38 were manufactured by Dunlop together with the EAS system itself. The original D3 struts are Delphi but I am not sure if they do the rubber moulding of the airbag. Relocated to Mid France from N. Wales March 2021
