Jim,
I used those springs on my challange 90. I was really happy with their suppleness for off road flex and the on-road characteristics weren't bad either. I originally had de-carbon shocks but both the rears snapped on the top eye on their first competition outing. I immediately switch to pro-comps with no probs. In short, I'd recommend the kit in the Paddocks package.

Hi Jim.
I echo Divster's opinion on the Paddock kit. I've had it fitted for a year now with the Procomp shocks. Fantastic. I use the vehicle a lot off road and for the price of that kit can't complain.
You shouldn't need extended brake lines, however I will be fitting some myself soon as part of a brake overhaul.
One thing to consider is the state of the lower rear coil mounts on the axle. On my truck (93 tdi), they looked as though they'd been in the sea for years and promptly fell off with the coils!! If this is the case don't dispare as Paddock also do repair mounts for the axle. A real pain though as it'll vehicle off road for a while!
Cheers,
Jez

I'd save your money for other bits and bobs myself.
