Does your 130 have coils or air suspension?

However, I guess its all relative. I find it does a superb job, but that is compared to a truck with suspension like a Conestoga wagon and my LR4.

Are you sure about this? The config tool on LR website seems to show you can get coils or air.

Yes, for US models of D130, Electronic Air Suspension and Adaptive Dynamics are standard. I do not know about Euro models.

Makes sense. I believe the coils have a slightly higher standard ride height. The air suspension crouches down a bit at speed.
