The issue is I can buy from the USA for $150 delivered.
In Aus we are being charged $350.
Thieves.
I think I need to talk to the ombudsman.

i have just put some in the rear of our wagon and i don't think you would want them in the front as it makes the ride a lot different and you might need a different shock as you need a min of 5psi and unladen it rebounds a lot, as
the springs cope all but when the is on(when the camper is on and loaded the back sits down more than i would like to travel in true off road conditions), i have not yet adjusted the shocks yet, this may fix the problem.
The car rides better altough differently as
the springs are not compressed and riding on harder end of the spring rate rather compressing air and riding on the lighter end of the spring rate.
If i were to buy springs again i would have a progressive rate spring in the rear that just copes with the laden weight(for a good road) for an emergency situation to get
home in case you damage an air line.

Hi,
I ordered the coil-rites for my Patrol from truckspring.com last year and they cost me US$138 delivered.
Here is the kit I ordered:
http://www.truckspring.com/firestone-coil-rite-kit-4129.html
Fitting was easy, used a trolley jack and big lump of wood to fully extend the spring, slipped it between the coils with the air hose pointing up, slipped in the spacer on the top of the bag and connected the hose.

Hey Patrol_Driver,
I too am looking for coil rites, but how do you know from the truckspring site that this is the correct kit? I tried to to a search by vehicle type, but there is no Patrol option. I have a GQ.
Cheers

I emailed trucksprings.com and asked them for the correct kit.
Not sure if it will fit the GQ as I have a GU.
