2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Santorini Black

Twisted suspension

Just thought I'd post after fitting twisted suspension set up
I got my 110 new in march and have agonised over the suspension upgrade since then
But I ordered the twisted set up last Monday and it was fitted Friday
Wow what a transformation on the road, especially fast A roads
Feels so planted and alive
It's not a cheap upgrade but I'm well glad I made the investment, we often run down to Cornwall surfing and it will make that journey much more enjoyable

There's only the option to lower the rear on 110 by 1 inch which makes the car sit level
I went for this option as I like the level look
I've only done a few miles testing but so far ride is only slightly harder but steering and handling great
I'm just amazed at the improvement
I'll take a pic of two of it sitting on new suspension

I had a 110 utility and that ride as standard was harder than the station wagon that replaced it
It's so marginally harder that to me as I like driving it's well worth it

i put station wagon springs on my 110 usw to try and improve the ride but it made it worst as it raised the ride height so if any body want to try them they are going cheap were on for a 1000 miles.
