suspension question
I have Bilstein shocks and standard LR springs and the mrs is finding it a bit rough has anyone had any experience of fitting softer springs to make it a better ride


Thanks

Try Terrafirma. Most lift & other kits use hd springs but the Terrafirma kit I fitted to my 90 used standard spring rates with a 40mm lift, the result is a very pliable set-up that replicates the original.

Can I suggest you talk to Digby at Extreme 4 x 4 in Dovercourt, Essex. They seem to specialise in Land Rover suspension.

http://extreme4x4.co.uk/

He was extremely helpful in helping me sort out softer springs for my 110 hardtop.

The ones I ordered from him were still too hard, so I went to see him and he fitted several others for me to try. (I eventually settled on 240lb, -1.5" I think). They are bright orange though Embarassed

He's also an ex LR master technician.

They have a huge stock of different rates and heights which I saw.

No connection etc.

Might be a long way from S Wales tho....

A wee bit more local is gwyn lewis 4x4. I went all the way down there to pick up my challenge suspension but he has loads of different Old Man Emu shocks and springs and very knowledgable too. Maybe worth booking it in to him. William

He's a real enthusiast too when I was enquiring about parts for a RRC renovation he recommended other suppliers which had original LR panels rather than using the pattern parts he had in stock. 2011 - 110 - Double-cab pick-up
