Spring & Shock Combo

<< < (6/8) > >>

Horness:
Cones or retainers then?

Would I be okay fitting these from Devon 4x4 ?

Also - do I need front and rears?

Advice, opinions and more amazingly fast ways of emptying my wallet appreciated.  :wink:

Those relocation cones from devon should work very nicely, but unless you reposition your front dampers outside the spring they will only fit the rear.

Mace:
The Devon ones are like the paddock ones and go to a point at the bottom, these work slightly better than cone type ones as they allow a wobbly spring a little more guidance when relocating. I've seen a spring sit squarely onto the bottom of a cone type dislocation cone and not relocate at all.

As to fronts and rears, depends on how extreme you're going to go but for most applications the front shock will guide the spring back in anyway, should it dare to pop out.

The other question is, do you have front and rear anti roll bars? Removing or leaving these in place will effect your need for more or less parts ;-)

Cal:
Hi Horness,

The D44 cones will fit - but you need to either modify them slightly by making the bolt hole a slot, or make a small hole in the back of the wheel arch - otherwise the bolt that holds the two parts of the cones together can't fit under the bodywork.

I will try and get some pics for you to show you what I'm so badly trying to explain!  :)

Horness:
Thanks Cal - is this still the case even though they specify series 1 Disco in the options?

Will I need anything else with these fitted?  Will I still need HD spring retainers from paddocks ?

Cheers
Horness
