Just put Koni's on mine. Fantastic difference to shot standard ones. Very pleased with them. Put lighter springs on as well, but they will be no good for you with 250kg in the back.

They will be soft and leaning in under 12 months
Better t spend a few more quid and buy something that will last and give a good ride |

We fitted Britpart HD springs on my 90 for our Australia trip, paired up with koni heavy track shocks, travelling around 15k miles. All fine and no sagging on our return to the UK and still going strong.
The combination performed brilliantly on all terrains, including long runs on Tarmac, gravel with heavy corrugations, soft and hard sand. This was with a heavy load (see our blog for details, link below). Our blog - http://landytravels.com/ Yorkshire Off Road Club - http://www.yorkshireoffroadclub.net |

The springs are OK. I cannot comment on the shocks as I don't use them.
I have 225lbs/inch in the front and 275 lbs/inch in the back. And I still bottom out in hard landings. 
 Click image to enlarge I am most off the time not bottoming out when charging up a hill. I had that problem with the standard springs. I got these 2nd hand and cheap, my final setup will be determent when my build is almost finished. Edited because wrong springrate.

I knew that the britpart springs were better than their usual gear i just wanted to hear off someone who had actually used them.  |

Got a set of HD britpart standard height springs for sale if they are any good to you. Had them on about 6 months, but took them off as I lowered my truck.

I've had britpart h/d +2 springs on a 90 for nearly 7 years, it still sits level. I can't fault them for the money. I'd try to have a spin in one with them fitted first though, they give a very harsh ride.

Just adding to my previous, my experiences are with a relatively empty 90, your 250kg may well improve the ride in comparison to mine.

Thanks for the advice everyone, have ordered the springs.
Going to think about what shocks to go with them |
