+3 the L322 EAS is a tad cleverer than the P38. During braking, cornering and sudden direction changes, the system opens and closes the Cross Link valves, adjusts firmness and stabilises the loaded vehicle corner to maintain stability, cos the L322 is a much more high centred vehicle due to the lack of low down chassis weight like the P38.
Without this stabilising system the L322 could become unwieldy at the more enthusisactic speeds and during adverse weather.
A P38 on springs, whilst not my bag or something I would advocate, is certainly not as dangerous with respect to removing the automatic height control of the EAS....whereas the L322 does rely on the EAS to maintain its stability.
The L322 EAS is also used to level the HID headlamp system....this is required by law, as is a high intensity lens wash for the HIDs too....
Now I am not saying an L322 is a danger in the sense it shouldn't be allowed, I am just saying the EAS system does more than just ride height changes on the L322....heed caution.
Wise words Ant, I've never liked bastardising vehicles
