To Spring or Not?

One of the airbags on my suspension as got a slight leak, to it into the local Indi Land Rover Garage and have it booked in for Friday do do both sides.
He asked if I'd thought about changing to Springs at the back, I know it can be done but not thought about it,
What are your thoughts?

air bags on the front wi springs on the back?? all sounds a bit dodgy to me... whats he charging ya?

sounds like the perfect opportunity to lift it to me !!!

Ive never driven a D2 with a coil conversion so cant comment-financially a better decision I reckon though...

Oh... i see so d2 got bags on rear and springs on front?

aye

Well worth doing in my view, the loss of the compressor, air bags, height sensors etc etc. means a lot less complication and less opportunity for failures on the road.

The SLABS ECU will need to be reprogrammed to take into account the new suspension.

if you fancy having a go yourself...

Converting a Land Rover Discovery Series II SLS suspension to Coil Suspension

did mine a while ago,quite easy to do,no real difference in ride quality even when towing.but not done any serious off roading with this setup.

Think I'm going to keep the air at the back, As it has a few uses

i got old man emu,never looked back.
