That’s exactly what I’ve just bought for my 1997 110 2 door hardtop. RKB101111 brown/purple
They are fitted to the 110 USW so may be bit harder/higher when not loaded ie: no seats in the back but mine will always have something in the back so not worried! 1997 Ex-MOD 110, Pop Top Camper, build thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72352.html

they will be ok to swap, the brown/purple might sit half an inch higher when unloaded but are actually slightly softer for the initial compression, stiffening up after that.

I bought new front and rear sets off them a couple of months ago, but......they were £50 a pair then, now they are £125 a pair! Still a saving on new genuine parts though I guess.

Blimey! I also bought a pair of springs for £50 and was very pleased. Darren

Just sent them a message and they have said £125, you must be a clairvoyant Rolling with laughter

Just waiting for pics and if they are new would be rude not to at that price.

Appreciate the offer Darren Thumbs Up

Not sure why they’ve upped the price so much, probably just realised they could be earning more from them!

I got a set of HD front springs(due to winch and bumper fitted) and a set of rears all for £100 delivered...bargain! 1997 Ex-MOD 110, Pop Top Camper, build thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72352.html

I may be cheeky then and see if they will take £100 instead Whistle

As you can see I have had a delivery.

I do have a couple of questions though.

I was thinking of some spring isolators for the front. Which ones should I go for?

Also when the new rear springs are side by side, there is a clear difference in height of them? Is this normal and which side does the taller spring go on?

Thanks in advance.

Great Thumbs Up

As you’ve already bought the shock turret retaining rings I would just go for 2x ANR2938 for the spring isolators, if you hadn’t already got them then RBC100111 Disco front isolators with retaining bolts on could be used.

Brown/purple springs aren’t handed so not sure why yours are different lengths, hopefully they’ll be even once fitted with weight on, I’d fit the taller spring to the driver side.
Rear spring isolators are ANR3060, different design to the fronts though, these are like rubber tube which clip over one of the spring coils. 1997 Ex-MOD 110, Pop Top Camper, build thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72352.html

The spring isolators are pieces of rubber that sit between the spring and the chassis to stop metal-metal contact, which helps reduce road noise, vibrations etc.
They’re not fitted to Defenders as standard to the front so Discovery ones are used, which can also be used on 90 rears. Some of the newer rear springs do have them on but not all, easy enough to buy and fit them. 1997 Ex-MOD 110, Pop Top Camper, build thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic72352.html

For an isolator on the rear of a 110 (with larger diameter springs) I used an Old Man Emu part that's intended for a Toyota (part no.OME80PR10), bought from Devon 4x4:
