which britpart springs

<< < (2/3) > >>

davidlandy:
these are more so than some others

my ome ones are heavy duty but are nothing like the bearmach yellows blues.

 

alex_mh:
ill go for the da204 rears then. hope there up to it
where can i get bearmachs from?any suggestions?

Disco_Stu:
Bearmachs are available all over the place - look at bearmach.co.uk

But, they're well hard, too uncomfortable for my liking - go britpart, despite the roblems with other parts.

digger:
i've got britpart 360 on the rear i tow a 3 ton digger and trailer which makes it about 4 and a bit ton with no problems but bloody hard off road

clbarclay:
All the usuall spring manufactures make more than just a single front and single rear spring for a LR, so the specification of a manufactures spring will be as important on hardness as the manufacture. There has been questions raised about some spring manufactures though as to how close their springs are to the claimed lengths and rates.

Just to say "britpart springs are stiffer than bearmach springs" or vice versa is as accurate as it is inaccurate as it depends which bearmach and britpart springs you are comparing.

Remeber to treat the manufactures lift figures with caution, bearmach does at least give different figures depending on which basic model of LR it is, but even then discoveries are not all the same weigth.


Any suspension setup will be a compromise for on road, off road, towing, comfort, cost, etc.
Mine is bisaed towards off road and suffers a fair bit of body roll round corners, but in true range rover handling fashion, the driver will chiken out round a corner before the vehicle does.
