Hi Mike,
Although I believe that Firestone has a good set of airbags, I can't justify the extra AU$300 for the price. How did you justify spending the extra money?
Cheers,
Bobby

Hi Bobby
My Coil Rite airbags cost me $430 supplied and fitted by my local 4x4 place (the airbags themselves were $315). I thought that was a pretty good deal. Not sure what the ''extra $300'' you refer to is?
Cheers

My airlift 1000 kit cost me AUD$112 delivered to the door from 4x4parts.com in the USA and they took me 1 1/2hrs to install. They were on special at USD$69.95, haggled about the postage costs and the aus $ was a lot better 3 months ago!
