2014 Flying Spur front sitting low over night

Hi all. My 2014 Flying Spur is sitting pretty low in the morning and it goes back up after I start the car. I am not sure about the prices on this repair so someone please guide me. If you can give me an estimate on what it will be to fix that would be great.

Hello, you have a leaking front suspension air bag. I had the same problem and replaced both of mine earlier this year. To double-check and pinpoint the leak I recommend doing the soap bubble test by placing the suspension under load and coating the top suspension mounts and air line connection points with soapy water from a spray bottle and leave for a few hours. I ordered replacement struts from RMT in Fort Lauderdale but they ripped me off on the core deposit refund so you might want to try Arnott's instead.

How does the RMT work from Florida? Will they sell OEM struts with all functions or repair the current strut I have? I don’t know anything about their services.

RMT is not reputable....buyer beware. Read all the posts on this thread! Comment is from personal experience and others on the B forum.

They'll sell you reconditioned parts plus a $250 core deposit per strut and ship them to you. Then you return your damaged strut to them and they'll refund you the $250 - but only if the strut is OEM - otherwise they don't refund you.. Alternatively you can mail them your existing parts and they'll recondition them and ship them back to you.

They ripped me off on one core deposit but the reconditioned ones they sent me are still holding up after 6 months.

*UPDATE* Just got a phone from my Bentley dealer. The front left strut is $4,200 with labor. I called RMT and it was only $383. Do you think I can use the rmt ones confidently for at least 2 years?

Are unity struts any good?

I have to purchase a front right strut and at Bentley they want 4200 dollars for it. I looked at some after market ones and unity came up. If I get 2 front struts from unity, will the level of the car still be good?
