If you can afford it, go for it. I think most people love it. I find air a bit wallowy on uneven roads and prefer the coils (which is lucky because when I ordered my Hard Top it wasn't even an option). https://instagram.com/bentheoandrews

l've got coil springs on my 90 Commercial but the general word on the street seems to be, tick the "air suspension" box on the configurator.
Having said that, if l was ordering again l still wouldn't bother spending the extra 2k as mine is absolutely fine on coils although side steps will make it easier to get in, when l get around to fitting them!! |

Have taken both out. The air is not noticeably smoother for day to day driving, not that I noticed anyway. Does have the benefit of access mode though. Will probably hold a bit more value at resale if that’s important to you. That being said, I went coil.

This question gets asked regularly, including by myself last year. Opinion seems divided which is interesting but not necessarily helpful.
We tried both and ended up adding it to our order. I found that the difference was quite noticeable on the local roads, due to their condition, but not so much on the better maintained (smoother) strategic routes (Motorways and other A roads). My wife and I were recently invited to a LR event. The first car we drove was a D300 Defender and even as a passenger I knew within 1/2 a mile it was on coils. We continued driving that car for an hour and both agreed the ride was great... It's just that the lumps and bumps seem to have their edges taken off with the air. As a side note, we also drove a FFRR and thought the ride on that was something else. The other consideration I hadn't initially thought about is the access height. This summer we're off to Europe and some of the car parks at hotels etc have a height limit of 2m. Being able to drop the vehicle to access those locations is going to be very handy. In summary, if you can afford it then tick the box. It's useful and well suited to the crappy UK roads. Last edited by TomCat75 on 17th Feb 2024 1:27pm. Edited 1 time in total |

I have had my 110 for 3 weeks now and glad I opted for Air Suspension - roads where I live are terrible and have to say the ride is great. In my last car you felt every bump in the road. Tony
