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
