I have looked into these air bags for my 2004 Nissan Pathfinder and have some info and also a question
There are 2 brands -- Polyair and Firestone Coil-Rite
The PolyAir is available at an excellent price from USA from several outlets and can be delivered here for less than half local quoted price
Both brands available locally the Firestone a bit more expensive than the Polyair
( But much more expensive than the Polyair from USA )
but the Firestone in my opinon is a better product because of the type of air line used and the way it attaches to airbag fitting
Now the question is I would prefer the Firestone product but at USA prices but cannot find a internet source for the kit
( Australian part no. CR5003 )
For example Truck Springs only stock the Polyair product for the Nissan Pathfinder , same goes for others i contacted
Has anyone bought Firestone Coil_Rite Kits from USA and can pass on details of supplier?
also any feedback on these kits in general may be helpful , a search of old posts was interesting but mostly old info .

G'day
I tried to edit above post but gave up so I will add another comment here
Old thread no. 21343 has a lot of info but as it is over 3 years old I hope that someone has recent infomation as to a US supplier of Firestone Coil Rite to pass on
as stated in that thread I would not mind paying a fair premium to deal locally but the difference is just too big
And even then some of the local retailers I contacted are quoting about $370 to $385 for something that has a recommended retail price by Australian Distributor of $ 295
Are we being ripped off or not ?
Just to sum it up in my case Firestone CoilRite local rrp $295
local retailers $370 to $385
and the Poly Air product locally about $20 less than that
BUT Polyair from Trucksprings at $123 delivered to my door
if I cannot find the Firestone product online ex USA at good price it looks like the best option

i got some firestone's for my leaf spring 2000 hilux the brackets they supply are crap i had to modify them to stop them bending i also got a puncture on one off the air bags on a previous trip . although they did replace it under warranty so wasn't too bad but since i fixed the brackets i haven't had a problem.
