Off road you can notice but on the road not so much . You will never get a ride like airbag . But I’d say it’s the same as stock coils and shocks . I looked into 2nd hand . But same . How long will it last . Move coated the shocks in wg90 . When I service I clean and re coat . Same when I do the brakes . Paint red oxide . And wax oil any steel . . Well worth it for n the long run .

I didn’t need to get anything else . Had advice that stock shocks needed other parts from main dealer costing more . Little things like bump stops . Covers . Mounts and fixings . This kit had all I needed for lowering or raising

Hi I converted to coilovers and profited from it . £800 for the kit . I did the conversion . Sold the old units for around £200 each . And the pump for £250 . It don’t handle off road as nice as it did but on the road cornering is stiffer . I tried lower profile wheels and tyres to see if it was better but didn’t like the look . I now lifted the suspension up . Happy now . But it is a 15 year old Car now . But longer I can keep it going the better I love it . Some hates out there but I like it

£10 a month more . I asked if i changed to standard spring it would be the same cheaper they said as it was not stock and still modified from factory . Also that's with drilled brakes as they were down the same down .

aderz my solution is not far from yours . I got gaffs tape folded it in half and slid it between the light and dash face . Pretty easy to do looks better . Pull the facia off 4 screws will get the console out and 2 wire plugs . A few gold screws holding the white part on . And some plastic clips . And then once in gently pulled the unit apart the rev needle popped off slid the tape in pipes it all back . No more flashing light . There might be fuses or a wire . But I ain't got time like I used to . The ride ain't as good as it was off road but on the road handles much better . Little more stiff but I've setup 30mm lower that stock and softest setting on damper . Bc coilover were the cheapest I could find but if I was going to do it again knowing I could sell the old for those silly prices I'd have got stock replacements . And not profited of the job. But one good thing . Didn't cost me ,it made me money lol . I paid £3800 3 half years ago and I've been offered £2000 for it but love it to much

And thanks to aderz I also done front brakes in that time aswell

Took me around 10 hours . But had problems like bust my 22mm socket then got a new on need a power poll for my power bar . One stubborn bolt . Had the shocks from larkspeed . £680 but already made money money back on selling the old stuff . Very happy with the outcome . and now I can help others just like this thread

All finished . All lights sorted. All sensors removed . Back on the road . I think I was lucky . Didn't need new Link pins . They came off easy . Defo a saving money wise . Sold the pump for £250 and The old shocks for £600 . Still not sold the sensors . But they on eBay .

Well had a day off work. Old units off. new ones on .not had chance to setup and drive yet . When I stared my jeep the pump started but button under the dash switched it off . Old suspension on eBay .

I've always had a top spec car . Any one know what does the se-l have that a se don't . 1 is air suspension . But what else e.g . Mark Levison 11 speaker sound system . Just want to know is it worth me scrapping mine or converting to cool ?

I got in touch with this guy on eBay. Also found someone who has used this kit and happy . Cost wise look like a good deal . I want to clean as much as I can got black wax oil spray and and a load of cleaning tools . Ready . Does taking the bulb out in the dash work . When I got my car the ecu light was on but bulb removed .didn't know till I had m.o.t put a bulb in and had p0301 and p0302 . I think .catalyst below threshold . But the garage changed the sensors and added a inch spacer and now all works as normal . And emissions are 0.010 . Passed last year with a knock from steering advise . Said could be top mount . So been waiting for it to fail . I got new discs and pads to fit and two front wheel bearings . I changed everything on the rear 2 years ago . Cables shoes discs pads and refurbished calliper seals . Your advice has helped me make the jump cheers

I'm going to convert my rx300 from air to spring . Car is off road and going to be a summer project . Any requests for picture of progress and any tips . Should I leave all the pumps and compressors and sensors on the suspension or get it all off .?

Ye I still have mine . Gotta say . Think they saved my car from crashing . http://www.walesonline.co.uk/news/wales-news/crash-left-one-car-roof-10703429 i passed this crash just after it happened . I could have been the 4wd or tyres . But only the tyres were on the ice . Definitely won't be scrimping on tyres ever again . As for comfort and sound . Best tyre I've had :)
