    Dan, I guess it depends on what you're planning on doing with it. If you're keeping it as mainly a tourer then perhaps something like King Springs would make something to suit. Dobinsons seem to get a good rap but they may be too supple for you.

    When you do swap it over, if you're looking to offload your reservoir tank and compressor....... I'll take them off your hands.

    I think the Bearmach kit is about $1300.

    You could try these: LAND ROVER Air Suspension Parts - Range Rover 1995-2002 (4.0 and 4.6) P38A US$600

    Just as an aside, to keep it legal after the conversion I am pretty sure you will need an engineers certificate.

    I believe this is reffered to as "castration"

    I'm sure Ritters have a kit, my mechanic was telling me one of his customers, had them do it. No idea on cost, but wouldn't hurt to ask. At the least they will know who can, and what springs etc... I've now got the EAS software so can fix it myself.

    If your looking to offload any of the EAS gear...

    re coils

    just a footnote when to arb moorebank nsw yesterday ,purchased there old man emu nitrocharger oil /gas shocks part no n176 frount/n177 rear which are valved to suit p38a coil conv (which is the rage in usa) fitted them now no bounce ,and now when takeing courners you either hold speed or go faster rather than backing off .these shocks are wow ,changed the car from truck back to sports car again and around $300 less than bilsteins for 4 shocks .i highly recomend these for non air p38a rangies ps why did i chose them well had a ride in gregs 110 with them and was freaked out how excellent they are , said have to get these. cheers ralph

    re wow

    i will give you a clue slunnie ,your fellow club member (idletorque) greg sorry .we were at zukana and i was in his 110, just amazed me off road the difference between his and mine shockie wise .as said when changeing over to coils also change the shocks , no good going half way as i found out .now its like back on air but not jumping like a grasshopper on extended air .love driveing it now and anyone that has a p38a and wants to go for a burn to see the difference between theres and mine if got coils see me at lroc syd meeting ,you wont be dissapointed.
