Poly Air equivaqlent, anyine used these?
I was told about these by a member of the D2AU forum.
Vehicle Search Just select SUV, Landrover then Discovery (tried to make a link but the bloody thing won't paste properly).
They are made in the US and by my reckoning, even with freight they will land here at about $au150/pair. A pretty big drop on the $300 or so for Poly-Airs.
Interested in any feedback.

I bought mine from them, a Firestone Coil Rite kit which is listed for Defender 90. I fitted them to my County-Isuzu and they fitted and work a treat, very pleased. Cost me A$157.12 in June 07. This includes air-mail and Visa foreign exchange charge. Best price from an Oz supplier was around $280-290.

and a FWIW, a few around here that have fitted Oz Polyair's to Patrol utes have had line leakage problems where they go into the bags, with most removing them and just fitting stiffer springs, even after getting replacements under warranty.
I was going to get a pair for our Patrol ute (the bum sags with just a few bags of horse feed, let alone 26 bales of hay) until I heard of all the problems.

I fitted a set of the Airlift airsprings to my wagon, not a LR admittedly but a very similar application, LWB Bighorn (Jackaroo), That was 2 & a bit years ago, so far its done three summers with not a problem, no leaks, keeps constant pessure for ages. Admittedly the conditions are not as extreme as in Oz but I thick it says that the fittings are up to it. Easy to install too.

Well guys, I have to say that the Yanks are pretty good at getting stuff delivered to us in Oz! Took 6 days to arrive at my door, and the bill on the Mastercard is $148.26!
Fitted them today in a couple of hours and yep, the instructions are right, and they fit!
I think the distributors of things in this country better be having a good look at their margins if they dont want to lose all trade to direct sales such as I've done here.

Is your disco lifted? I have heard that the firestones only suit a non lifted disco and that spacers are required.
I was going to order mine from the States and get spacers from polyair...
