Totally understand George, how long have you had them fitted? I guess we all hope when we buy something for the defender it will last not fail. Whistle 2015 HT XS 90

I believe its 3 years, so nothing exceptional. I do use my defender for all sorts, but nothing extreme. The powder coating started to fail almost immediately which was probably the first warning sign. As these new ones are branded, hopefully they'll last better?

2019 has been a bit of a slow year, modification wise, for my defender. Yours has had a through going over though Laughing 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon

Well, I bet you never expected me to type this sentence.

I have lifted my defender Shocked

The new springs from Urban automotive are only a 30mm drop rather than 60. My defender looks like its on stilts Big Cry

The only plus is that the ride is more compliant. This may well speed up the air suspension install Whistle
