Looks great
Can I ask...Where did you get the springs from? I hear OME do different spring options as well? I'm actually fancying a -1", and 20% softer set of springs on the rear of my 110 USW... Cheers Defender "Puma" 2.4 110 County Utility (possibly the last of the 2.4's) |

Yes back in the day OME powder coating was sheite so I got mine re done, however as it turns out the new OME springs are now powder coated to a high standard, basically it took ages to get the existing coating off to replace it with.... powder coating

Yea I know the word sport and Defender are rarely in the same sentence.
Its what they call them, basically the shocks adapt to the terrain. Not sure how but they do this. They worked well on J-Lo and would recommend them

In a word yes, the height of the un-compressed 2" lift spring is similar to the height of the un-compressed standard spring. |

Andrew,
Did you purchase them directly from Aus or via a UK reseller? Are they a standard uprate or a special for your loads? I'm after uprated springs for my 130, with the camper on back it drops 90mm (LHS) & 70mm (RHS) ideally I could do with drop being limited to 40 to 50mm with camper, but when no camper on back I need them to be soft enough for the first 30mm as to avoid an uncomfortable ride.
