I've read Delphi are better, at least in the L322.

I've read Delphi are better, at least in the L322.
Assuming Delphi would be the Land Rover brand?? I was looking for Delphi but am yet to find them...Quote:

I got the Dunlops in the front of my D3, no issues so far after 51,000km
The shocks in the not so expensive Delphi D3/D4 complete assemblies that I fitted to my D4 didn't last very long (40K?) on my roughish roads so I then purchased genuine LR bare shocks and re-used the air-springs for a much more controlled ride.
LR Direct - AU$ 2469.01 Air freight included for front and rear.Quote:

Ah so Delphi is another aftermarket brand...
I plan on fitting them myself after watching a you tube clip of a guy doing one in 20 minutes.
Really not sure if i'm looking at air struts or just shocks because it says shock absorber assy and has no pics. Island 4x4 is much better with pictures and actually calling it an air strut assembly... Unfortunately they only have fronts and OEM brand.
Duckworths were cheaper than LRDirect when I bought mine.
Don't forget to budget for import duties & GST!
Have you given Mario and Heather a chance to quote????
Send them a PM,Roverlord is their username.
Ive used them a lot in the past for D2/Deefer parts.They do a better price via PM than Ebay.
Nothing ventured,nothing gained.

Duckworths are a much nicer $2100 shipped meaning i could probably still make my $2500 budget with taxes. Not sure I'll get much better than that. Great value for what they are. I've paid more for bilsteins with good springs on previous cars...Quote:

Think I'm just going to pay the extra $500 and stick with originals. They've lasted 200 000kms and counting so be worth a bit extra...Quote:
