Are they now? That's a shame; I sold my last one to a scrapyard after someone stole both cats out of it, a week before I was going to move - I just didn't have time to deal with it.

I was always skeptical of the P38s because of the airbags. How do you deal with that over the long term?

Change the bags every ten years or so. You can get aftermarket ones by Arnotts, but Dunlop still do them too. Apparently they're used in ambulances, too.

I won't say I've never had EAS problems but it's never left me stuck, unlike coil springs.
