So which type do you guys find better? The earlier style ones or the later ones with coils in the front corners?

The earlier style ones has more support where your butt actually sits, whereas the later ones have more support where your thighs are...

coiless are more reliable, but give a firmer ride. coils have much more give, coiled feel alot better but have less lifetime and sometimes are abit springy.. and make noises at times.

Yeah I did notice the coil ones were kinda springy compared to the earlier ones.

Hmmm, so mercedes superceeded ALL the old styles with the springy coil ones?

From what I was told the old styles are NLA.
