More than happy with the shocks! The only thing I haven't done (yet) ist extend the rear anti roll bar further down. Brakehoses are also original.

All in all the Defender drives very good with the new shocks (8000km driven so far). Especially when cornering there is less body roll.

And the minimal lift also suits it well Smile

Certainly does suit it, looks great!!

Did you find you've ever inverted the roll bar then? I guess roll bar spacers is the easiest way to fix this, i'd not thought through it really.

I love this idea of this...... switchable roll bar.

Might try one.

Just checking - you fitted only the parts listed by badger in the end or did you need additional? Smile

Superb thanks for sending it.

Do you think the isolators made much difference at the front?

Hard to tell... as I also changed the shocks at the same time.

The reason I installed them at the top and bottom of the spring was for the quick & easy minimal lift.
