Best place to get them is Arnotts in the US, about half the price (landed at your door) of anywhere here in OZ.
Although when I got mine, the $ was .96c not .66c
LAND ROVER Air Suspension Parts - Discovery II Series 1998-2004
They're US$283.80 for a pair + about US$55 postage = AUD$516
That's about $3-400 cheaper than anywhere else in OZ
IMHO they're far better made and better material than OEM or Airbag mans too.

My RHS has started to go down again, and this time it's not airbags. Apparently looks like valve body or possibly the thread that goes into compressor...the search continues
I like the SLS, but a coil conversion could be on the cars, they're only a few dollars as well.

Good Luck

Thanks for that mate....yep they are cheaper than what is on offer at airbagmans,

Regards

Had the same issue Stevo with the door slam & down she goes. Most of my trip into the Simpson involved a good door slam at the end of the day & a very easy unload! I left the bag replacement a little too long and found that the compressor was on its way out by the time the bags were changed. I got my bags from airbagman ex gst for $554 last year delivered. Can I quietly say - Buy Australian?

10 min job, hmmmmm.!
Ive done this 4 times now, I'm probably a bit anal about safety (as a qualified Fitter/Turner, (not practising)) but can chage over both in around 1 hr total. Land Rover quote 1 hr each side.
I agree it is a simple job, but you need to be vigilant that the vehicle is chocked and supported on stands, not a jack. Removing a wheel with the standard LR kit takes me 5 minutes!

I just posted some SLS stuff here you might be interested in. http://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery/...tml#post916534

and this might help http://www.aulro.com/afvb/discovery/...completed.html

It is possible to rebuild the compressor(built by Wabco),,,
certainly cheaper than buying a new one,,,
