    Thanks for all the info guys, appreciate the feedback and I will head back to the drawing board. Ps I haven't ridden in the l322 yet so will definitely take this into consideration

    I am not going to enter into the right or wrong debate on this but do pop over to RANGEROVERS.NET HOME and have a look at what the Sceptics are doing to their Full Fats.

    I think the EAS on the L322 is one of the most robust LR have built. Much better than the P38 and better than the early RRS as well.

    In all the posts I've read about issues, the main one is the front bags failing as they reach 200KKM, and the compressor wearing out. Niether is a big deal or expense to change and you'd be good for another 200KKM.

    As Jon mentioned, you have engineering and insurance issues to look at as well, so by the time you do all that work, you could have bought new front airbags, new compressor, a IID tool and still have heaps of change left over.

    If you want coils, buy a different vehicle...

    Looking at the rear of my L322 I dont think there is enough room to squeeze coils in unless major structural changes are made to the vehicle.
    No way is it as easy to do as on a P38.
    To be honest after having driven an EAS Rangie for the last 15 years I dont think I want to drive a vehicle with coils on it......well not a 4wd anyway.
    Take a look at leaf sprung vehicles they sag pretty fast.
    Coils are not that much better, you might get another 2 years before it needs a re set or new springs.
    How do you sort a sagging coil/leaf sprung vehicle out if it is loaded......yep they put those silly helper air bags or Poly bags in them.
    EAS trounces metal suspension hands down.
    I can replace a P38 air bag in 15 minutes with nothing but a jack and a screw driver. An L322 I have not worked on Yet, but the EAS seems well more reliable.
