I have a 2006 LR3 HSE, Canadian version with 150,000 KM. My air EAS air compressor is kaputt as well as the front air suspension bags.This would be the third air compressor in 10 years, that's why I am considering a coil over suspension kit to replace the EAS.
I use the EAS daily, given that I need to lower the suspension to clear the roof of the access ramp to the parking garage. Therefore I would need coils that reduces the standard height by 1/2" to 1". Does anyone know any coil over suspension kit that complies with this requirement?
Cheers

 

You could always cut the coils lol

I'm not recommending that option, but I am from Ohio and we tend to do things a bit redneckish around here

 

Just sounds like coils is a non-starter for you. Also, how do you know for sure that both air shocks are toast? That is indeed a big job/cost ahead of you if you want to keep the LR3.

 

I'm wondering how one goes through 3 compressors in just over 93,000 miles. I have 118,000 miles. I've changed the front valve block, and the drier. That's it for the eas. There must have been other problems going on that have never been addressed.

 

Maybe he's going with the cheaper Dunlop option....

 

I took the LR3 to the dealer and they did a LR scanner diagnostic. The compressor is toast. The air shocks don't have much life left. I simply figure that if I have to change the compressor, I might just as well the air shocks. My other option is to change the compressor and wait until the air shocks go.

 

Redneckish = pragmatic/practical

 

As I said, I use the ACCESS setting to access the parking garage of my condo. I do this several times a day every day for the past 10 years. Maybe that has a lot to do with the wear and tear. Most people don't use the access setting that much.

 

The LR3 cost was $86,000 US brand new here in Mexico. Spare parts are roughly 70% more expensive if you can find them at all.
