They're not very practical! I love the look though.

Hi
can you advise which DAB and where you installed the aerial, or did you use the existing one?

@Clayton, they were the Naka versions, had them from Mudstuff Thumbs Up

@bm, the dab is a single din Sony, no Bluetooth as I'm fitting a specific phone kit.
The antenna is a mag mount, I ran the cable through a spare grommet in the bulkhead and it goes on the bonnet, out of harms way, great reception and it bends at the spring when the bonnet is lifted.

I'm REALLY impressed with the springs, it's totally transformed the ride, from harsh, hard unstable to comfy and a lot more 'planted' at higher speeds.

So, Alive springs, standard dampers with front and rear anti roll bars. Deluxe!

You're entirely welcome

Nitram, it's dropped it an inch, though you hardly notice it unless it's parked next to another.

Interesting to hear that it changed the ride so much without the dampers. I've contacted Alive about full package for Mrs JK's 90, including the dampers, but if I could save some than why not - as long as she's happy with the improvement Wink

Btw, the pick up looks lovely! MY15 Aintree 110 SW - for sale - https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic82781.html

Thanks. A mate of mine had the springs and after I drove his, I ordered them for my v8. Then he put the Alive dampers on and said it made it harsh again, he wished he kept the standard dampers. So that's how we run them now. It really has transformed it. Absolutely money well spent.
