Suspension replacement?

[merrion13]

I thought I've heard that you cannot replace the air suspension system with traditional springs, but I saw Atlantic British sells kits of springs. Is replacement of the air suspension possible, or no?

to the best of my knowledge their conversion kits is only available for the Range Rover at this time & not the LR3. Hopefully that will be soon to follow.

Can I ask why you want to replace yours?
Might want to get in touch with Nathon, he is by far the best one to talk with regarding LR3's.

Just curious because in the event of a compressor and suspension failure, might be cheaper to do coil conversion. I did this in my '00 D2 for the rear and it worked great and was a lot cheaper than replacing the EAS. Also, don't own an LR3 yet but strongly considering one, so doing some research now.

To my knowledge, there is no way to convert the LR3/LR4/RRS Air Suspension System to a coil system. Terrain Response, Traction Control, HDC and Ride Height are all interwoven into the many CPU's. It would take a ton of time and money just to start. someone in SoCal tried but was left with a 6k lb paper weight.

Ok good to know. Weird that Atlantic British shows the kit on their website. Thanks everyone.

Well.... it is possible. you just have to know how to remove the suspension control module from the communication loop.

There is not one for LR3. All conversion kits you can see there are eighter for RR 03-05 ( the latest) and Discovery 2.Nothing yet for Lr3.

Ive spoke to a few companies including them and they said theyre still eorking on it but having some issues with the programming aspects.

I'm pretty sure Merrion actually did see one for the LR3! I thought I saw it yesterday or the day before as well, and was pretty surprised. It's no longer listed - perhaps a typo during an update for today's suspension sale?
