hi all,heres some pics now i have finished the conversion from air suspension to coil springs.I got a 2" lift kit complete with pro comp dampers.Its a straight forward conversion and im well happy with it.I also fitted some BFG MT's,235 85 16.I haven't needed to trim the arches neither even after some off road playing.

Range Rover Blues:
Hmmm< I like the look of those boots under your car, I went for 235/70 R16 (albeit remoulds) and they don't quite fill the arches the same way.  How do you find the handling now?  Do you notice any loss in power?

buster uk:
no loss in power although i have noticed if you turn sharp or too sharp at speed the tyres seem to twist a bit before turning,so steering feels a bit strange but im used to it now.But then the steering maybe because of the 2" lift.

That size tyre at 60 mph the speedo will read 56.4 mph so at least i cant get done for speeding as it over reads rather than under.

Range Rover Blues:
The steering could be a bit stuffed up because you've lost the castor angle at the front.
The speedo, it's telling you you're doing 56 when you're doing 60 surely? so watch out for the speeding cameras.  BTW that''s illegal you know.  It may be possible to correct by changing the speedoe driven gear in the T-Box housing.
