2008 Defender 110 BMW M57 3.0 Diesel XS CSW Auto Santorini Black

Which springs ?

I am considering lowering my 110 CSW. I am using it 99% on road so it's behaviour on road is more important than off road ability. Having done a fair bit of research I have settled on Bilstein B6 shocks all road and possibly a 28mm rear ARB, but would like some opinion on springs. I am looking for a more comfortable and stable ride with 2'' lower at the rear and 1" at the front. It's got some 18" et0 alloys with BFG ats

Any suggestions on what's good?

Thanks

Phil

This could be a potential solution...

Thanks for this. I was seeing whether there was any alternatives as struggling a bit the the alive pricing in comparison with others

I went through this dilema and 'sorted' my 90 by using standard LR road springs, Koni shocks, Alive rear ARB [25mm i think] and I changed my BFGs to the softer GG ATs. I cover 250 fast road miles each week, long distances abroad on hols and it will still get along any normal green lane without issue,

The ride is now very good compared with the supplied HD rear springs, horrid standard shocks, over soft standard rear ARB.

My wife even approves
