Thread: P38 Coil Conversion Kit

KLR Automotive have done a few - possibly using the Bearmach kit.

had my p38 96 model convertered at graeme coopers ,st peters sydney .

Hi Guys, thanks for your replies.

Question for rofosixone : How have you found the conversion ? Did you go with a standard conversion or with an extra lift ?

Any details would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers
Matt R.

hi matt best thing you can do to a p38 is puting coils on, mine is british alantic made for p38 cost me all up 1,900 fitted.it is std height doesent handle like sports car any more ,now rides same as my old county .if you want more info i will send you my contact details as this will log out again before i finish ,this is the third time i am typeing this but there are pitfalls to the conversion and i can explain beter by voice ,no big problem cheers ralph ps once done you will never look back

Sorry. Have to disagree.

One of the best things about a P38 is the unprecedented ride quality you get from the air suspension.

Overhauling the system is quite easy and waaaay cheaper than it used to be.

hi adm 333, i admit you are right ,but haveing spent last 5 years 4,700 dollars in repairs there comes a time you say i dont want to do this any more .and as graeme cooper says i just dont want hassels any more .i have talked to matt and in 130,000 km he also is sorta fed up spending money .but dont get me wrong the air is a wonderfull system and 4.6motor would be too but i prefer coils and 4.0 motor ,its called dont want trouble any more cheers ralph.

just a foot note,if trying to find details on the web it is atlantic british (not british atlantic ,i was going of my memory). looked it up that is the right way to type it . then you click the first site go to the smart part search box and only type item no 9520lb and hey presto,there is information of the kit i have in my p38.hope it sorta answers your questions ,ralph

Just to ignite further debate because I'm out of coffee

Interesting safety issues re. coil conversion. Have not seen stability issues mentioned previously wrt attachment position of coils vs airbags ...assumptions by castrators is that it makes no difference ...following article raises questions..
