anyone fitted the Extreme 1.5/2.5 Inch Lowered Springs
Was wondering if any members have fitted these to their 110, and whether any other modifications were required or felt are needed in conjuntion with the springs?. ideally I want my Land rover 110 to be less than 200cm in height for parking barriers.

I am planning on fitting 265/65/18 BFG's and 18 inch wheels to my 110.

fitted a new set of extreme 4x4 - 2 in springs in my 90 xs 6 months ago and think they are brilliant
Had a set of urban truck -2 in and they were terrible , far to stiff ,The extreme springs are a progressive spring and the ride is even better than on standard springs . couldn't rate them high enough

Just enough clearence in my local car park. Authorities here will not allow me to fit springs without homologating them which costs money here Searching for my first Defender...and started just as Covid hit, so talk about timing.

5 months after starting the search I found it, and here is the details

My 110 van sits at 80 inches tall, where its sat on a stone driveway. That's measured at the back, which is the highest point, and with minus 1 inch rear lowering springs. This is with slightly larger than standard 33 inch tyres, opposed to the standard 32's, which would have added about 1/2" to the height. This would also be lower in a station wagon as they're a bit heavier, so pretty close.

The 2m height may well have some leeway too.

Or go for Air Suspension.... gets you down to about 190cm in access mode.

@London_Landy have you fitted the springs yet? Do you need new shocks or ARB? I have emailed Extreme 4x4 as after the same setup

@calibrarwd did you fit yours with new shocks and ARB?
