2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 XS CSW Epsom Green

Replacement Springs

Hello Folks

I've a cracked front spring, and I need to replace it. The problem is I can't find the same spring. The rear springs are 2" lower and the front 1" lower. I'm guessing since I can't find the same I'll need to replace them all.

I do very little offload stuff, its all on road, so I'm looking for something firm. I run Fox shocks.

Any recommendations would be appreciated. My 110 is usually empty, with only camping gear and dogs in the back.

Cheers

Richard

With good quality shock absorbers like Fox you would be better going softer on the springs, up to 20% depending on the amount of load you are carrying about.
Are your shocks adjustable, if so I would definitely not go stiffer unless you want a terrible ride. Also the softer springs will allow you to use 18 or 20 inch wheels without losing ride quality. 90 300 TDI SW (sold)
