I wonder if they've been sat on the shelf so long they're up to the use by date? Do air-springs have the week number and year of manufacture like tyres?

Some are certainly date marked. If stored in good conditions, I think Arnotts would be good after any length of time but not Dunlops. £45 for Dunlops is not beyond the bounds of possibility, I think I paid £60 each for mine. £48 for Arnott Gen III's is not believable.
 
not a concern @RangeRoller dt , just a bit miffed. If this is a true advert I could have had gen 3's and lived nearly forever instead of the dunlop's (which have a totally better feel to my britpart efforts. (within bracket..didn't know better at the time and wish I never bought) out of inner bracket..)…. but happy with the dunlops' anyhow...…..im lost.....too many bloody brackets...………………..:confused:

Gen 3 are supposed to be harder at motorway speed and give more feeling. Personally I find the Dunlops more than hard enough! Gen 2 are decent according to Datatek and having seen Dopey's they don't seem to age!

Arnott are about £900 the full set off p38spares.

If I had the money spare I would find out for that price. Unless your lifting it I think it’s probably overkill. Gen 2’s have heard good things only.

They only had the fronts available. Not the rear. That makes me think end of line / close to sell by date or insurance job or maybe from auction of old stock for business closing.

Sure someone will let us know!
