Air suspension Vs Coils on RRC LSE

I know it's a bloody expensive system to fix if it goes wrong, but what exactly does the air system offer
over the coil arrangement I can fit for a few hundred quid? Does it ride better? I know it can be used on
different settings (heights) but does it really give any benefits?

I am also a bit concerned the coil conversion for the LSE might just be the same as the normal AS RRC &
not take into account the extra rear weight. There aren't that many LSE's about, or do they just use
Police or heavy duty rear coils?

I don't want to take it off until it breaks as the idea sounds good, but what are the benefits?

Nige,

Once you've ridden on air - coils become something that you can feel ;-) The
advantages of air on the LSE are adjustable ride hide (I assume it drops
height at speed to ensure more stability), comfort and the ability to gain a
2" lift offroad by pressing a button! Sometimes when I get back in the
coiler it feels like one of those kiddies playground toys (you know the
things bolted to a coil spring!) - hard to describe, but you'll know what I
mean.

I am converting one to coils soon. Much cheaper option then messing
around with the AS. I see P38 owners swapping to coils too.

I have the coil kit sitting in the workshop but the car is not booked in
yet to have it fitted. I would guess that the rear coils are heavier
duty than standard for the reasons you mentioned.

The only thing I like about the AS is the self levelling ability when
towing, this much noticed on Disco II with SLS.
