Has he noticed much difference in ride quality ?

Have you just replaced the air springs with coils or have you removed it all ?

We have an 86 wreck, both the 86 & 93 have twin lpg under the rear, it was obvious the rears were heavier
neither has a bullbar, so the front springs looked fairly standard, I removed the 4 airbags, which look fairly new...blocked of the airlines to stop crap getting in them, pulled the compressor fuse.
fitted the springs, left the original, shocks in. seems to ride & handle the bumps very well, we took it out on a rough road we know of with some decent bends.. no probs.

G`day ,

i have noticed there is a difference in ride in certain situations between coils and air springs .

One of ours on coils with the load leveler still functioning sits at same height all the time as the EAS one when at raised height .

The coiled one never feels unstable ( even without sway bars ) on the road but i know if it hits something it is more likely to get roofed , where as the eas is much lower at speed .

Another one on coils with the eas removed sits around the same height as std height for eas and it doesn`t seem to drag itself on things much , it has sway bars and drives as with eas at speed .

They all have LPG and twin tanks , as long as loaded evenly the coiled ones sit level the eas doesn`t care how it`s loaded as it compensates .

The reason i asked how much of the eas was removed is because i keep an ear out for bits and if you Dad decides to remove it i may be interested .

The only eas car we have at present ( LSE was written off ) is the later one and the ride is smoother and speed humps at slow pace seem to be swallowed by it but part may be the longer wheel base but its not that much longer than a LSE .

It doesn`t lower as far as the LSE and to get to highway height you have to break to speed limit in places because it requires over 100 kph , LSE is 80 kph which makes more sense for our use .

Cheers

no worries, atm i want to hang onto all the bits.
i don't think there was a real lot wrong with the EAS, when i removed the air bags, the front ones were firm with air, but the back ones were deflated, it was like the front was waiting for the back ones to rise, & that constant clicking noise from the valve block, anyway, something for another day..

That would make good sense .

In years to come it will be worth more than the average one .

EAS will only add to it , working or not .

Our LSE cost $139 for comp insurance ( one of the few advantaged of age ) and the payout fig was near $9K ( Market ) .

Couldn`t have sold it for that , maybe around half , i`d think but did make buying the L322 less painful .

Cheers
