Hi All
Time to bite the bullet and go for new air springs and lines to hopefully cure the S212’s saggy bum! It’s already had a new compressor, valve block and the pipework from the compressor to valve block. It had a new merc air spring about a year ago on one side so can’t imagine that’s leaking already but who knows
So anyway, I’m looking at Arnott or Bilstein air springs, the Bilsteins are about £40 more at £280 each but I can’t find many reviews other than that the merc OE ones might be made by Bilstein. Both have a 2 year warranty. I‘m torn - ive had Bilsteins before on my old Fiat Coupe turbo and was impressed with the quality but most seem to go for Arnott....
cheers!
