P38A COIL SPRING CONVERSION KIT

If you’re driving any kind of Solihull-built Rover, you’re probably familiar with the guys at Rovers North.  For a limited time they’re selling the Rover P38a coil spring conversion kits for $700.  For any ‘95 -’02 Range Rover, this kit’ll convert the troublesome air suspension to tried and tested coil springs, for a better ride and better handling both on and off road.

The kit includes four variable-rate springs, two rear and two front coil-spring isolators, four coil-spring seats, four aluminum spring perch adaptors, four spring retainers, and, most importantly, the EAS override electrical connector, to eliminate that pesky fault code and light.
