They are chinese rip offs, the crimp bands come away after a week and the diaphragms do not last long rolling over the steel piston as its cheap rubber. Death trap chinese crap mate :D

I tried to tell one guy not to buy them , he said they looked cool compared to the Dunlop ones :confused:
I said the only cool thing will be you when you are waiting for a tow truck to take you home when they burst :D
 
As far as i am aware Gen II are same as Gen III apart from the Gen III has extra lift. Unless you modify the sensor arms and shocks you are never going to use that. So a waste of money for a road vehicle. The Dunlops are a lot cheaper, OE and do the job very well. So i see no point in replacing them with either Gen II or Gen III. Unless you like spending money that doe not need to be spent.

When I got my Gen 2's 10 years ago they were on offer at a price not much more than the Dunlop's. The Gen 2's still look like new, I'm sure that would not be the case with the Dunlop's, so for me they have been a good buy. I agree that Gen 3 are a waste of money unless you are a serious off road enthusiaste.
 
Is there any consensus on the life span of airbags, btw, from you lads that have owned a LR for years?

The gen 3 is aluminium at the bottom which worries me as it sits on steel. The ride is noticeably better, maybe 10% smoother. The construction is more robust and solid compared to the gen 2 bag. I don't like the Voss connectors used by Arnott at the moment. There is no noticeable difference in ride between the gen 2 and Dunlop. As you say, the gen 3 allows extra travel if you modify shocks and sensors. Pity they are so damned expensive.

My Dunlop bags were looking bad at 7 years. Dopey had gen 2 Arnotts and after 10 years they look like new. The Dunlop bags from Island are made under license in China.
