Lifting suspension

(1/3) > >>

chris.hunt22:
Thanks to all who answered my topic posted a while ago 'lifting my disco'

I have come across some money (see WONGA!! in the bar) and I am going to go with one of the suggestions I have had, anyone know any better prices or best place to go etc.

Britpart DA4201 Front springs - £50 a pair
Britpart DA4203 Rear springs - £50 a pair
Procomp ES9000 +2" shocks £30 each

TOTAL - £220 (+ VAT I think)

2 other questions....

Will I need extended brake hoses with these springs (front 200lb/in and 400mm free length, rear 220lb/in and free length 430mm)

Will I need new shockers or will my standard ones be OK to leave on?

Still after 235/85/16 MT or AT's or 265/75/16 for swap or px. (or buy outright at right money!) See WANTED section for what I have to offer!! :wink:

bullfrog:
If you are planning on using the suspension then get extended lines as its not worth ripping one off. (they are around £11 per line and yours will either have 3 or 4 depending on if it has ABS)
I would also get the shocks as standard ones will limit spring travel.
The GAS ones should also improve handling on and off road.
Its worth considering all shock options as you dont want to keep changing them.
I personally would go for longer shocks and dislocation cones but I like long travel suspension as it allows you to generally go farther.
If its just for a bit of laning and light play days then the +2" set up will be fine.

suggs:
have a look at Bullfrogs setups, i dout you will get better suspension for the money, look in my profile at the snow shots to see what it can do to a Disco..

cheers

it has ABS, will that be 3 or 4 then?

Range Rover Blues:
I've found that with standard mounts you can't fit anything bigger than plus 2" shocks unless you extend the bump stops.  Most 'standard' or OEM dampers for the front are already plus 2" over standard for some reason, big problem for EAS equiped RRC!

I like ProComp but they are not the only answer, very popular though.......

And with the extra height stronger dampers are a good idea.
