Genuine LR contitech $826ea plus shipping from Paddocks so that’s out of the question. Contitech OEM from Paddocks however seem reasonably priced and with shipping, cost about the same as Dunlops do locally, so I think I’ll go with them, just as Simon suggested.
Don’t think I’ll risk the no name brands.
I’ll be changing rotors and refurbishing calipers at the same time so may take more than 10 minutes.
All your views and comments much appreciated.
Or, wait for Dave's next visit... You could time him for us.Quote:

Is it stamped "made in Germany" on them? cos they have some big plants in China for many products, suspension as well: Just a moment... [wink11] ... and in the german factory now is full of workers from Sri Lanka and other refugees, my cousin who lives in Germany told meQuote:

They look like a good product though. Only time will tell.
New pair of air springs installed tonight. Hopefully will get 10 years out of them.
Took a couple of hours to do the job, mainly because I wasn’t able to lift the chassis as high as I would’ve liked. Also, clearance to undo the nut and olive on the airline was minimal to say the least.
