More suspension and spring questions TD5 2001 90
Sorry, more suspension questions. I think I know what brands I'm going for in this department but as I will only be using main road and motorway and not towing, what spring weight should I be looking for, for a fairly comfortable ride? They can be seen listed as light, medium or heavy duty.

I want to keep the ride height standard but the better Britpart springs (yellow) are rated as heavy duty.

Bilstein shocks are probably what I'll be getting.

Thanks in advance Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Mike

Use the seach feature there a few good threads about the smoothest spring set up. If you are not off roading you can really comfy up a 90. I recall something about RRC springs in a 90 making it quite comfortable (nit sure but check it out). 2010 Range Rover MkIII Autobiography Super Charged (Idris)

If you don't want to 'stiffen' it up, If you don't want to lift it up, and it you dont want to change It's ride height ... then the advice from johnszs is the best you'll get - leave springs as standard and just replace shocks Thumbs Up Guns and Landrovers .... anything else is irrelevant.
