Welcome amhobbs,
Twisted tailor your defender to your requirements as well as producing generic models. It depends on which version you were looking at, some have standard ride height others are lowered. Hope this helps initially before some of the other members respond. Cheers Michael |

Hi and welcome to Defender ownership and Def2
With a 110 the rear is often lowered by 1" to get the vehicle to sit level. Various companies do 'kits' like Twisted, Alive Performace, Urban Truck, IRB or you can just buy the parts yourself. I can't help with the specific item part numbers as it would depend on what you actually want to achieve i.e just visual 'sitting' of the vehicle or improved ride etc? Hopefully someone else will help with specifics James MY2012 110 2.2TDCi XS SW Orkney Grey - http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic43410.html MY1990 110 200TDi SW beautifully faded Portofino Red - https://www.defender2.net/forum/post743641.html#743641 MY1984 90 V8 Slate Grey - https://www.defender2.net/forum/post744557.html#744557 Instagram @suffolk_rovers |

Hello
You say your new to Defenders so probably had a normal car previously? (like me) I have a 110 and to be honest its not too bad in std height once you get used to it, maybe live with it as it is for a little bit while you get used to it? OK its no sports car but progress through the bends can be made (even more so without passengers) |

If it helps, the wheels in that photo are Overfinch Apollo 18". http://www.overfinch.com/defender/apollo/ Twisted use tuned Eibach springs and anti roll bars, with Bilstein B6 Dampers and steering damper: http://twistedautomotive.com/store/twisted...on-system/ The standard Bilstein B6 shocks & dampers are far cheaper and supposedly very good without additional specific tuning. http://www.flatdoguk.com/bilstein---def-from-td5~498 |

I have gone for the twisted kit with -1" rear.
Also look at JE, they use standard front springs and then a -1" rear so another setup.
