You wont win on the twist of ramp but you will be very satisfied with the ride, on & off the road
Not to expensive either
If you call them they will find the best spring/damper set up for your car too

As mentioned elsewhere in this thread, you can only buy Scorpion Racing bits from Scorpion Racing, just as you can only buy Marks and Spencers products from Marks and Spencer.

No they haven't, they've been sold to new owners, unless this is breaking news.

Nick, what do you want from your Discovery?

Do you want some over lifted extreme machine or do you want a useable everyday machine that will still cut it off road?

Yes you can spend £3K on a lift kit, but that is for machines that spend the majority of their time off road in extreme terrain. For mere mortals a 2 inch lift from Terrafirma http://www.lrparts.co.uk/terrafirma/ will be sufficient!! (there are plenty of other kits from places like Paddocks, John Craddock, Devon 4x4, etc etc etc!)

A two inch lift will allow fitment of 235/85R16 tyres so you get a another inch of clearance under the diffs (a suspension lift in its own right does not do this!!)

You will also not need to castor correct anything nor have a cardon propshaft! but I would recommend extending the brake lines and the bump stops!!

Just throwing money at your Landrover will not give you a decent machine, you need to learn how to drive it, how it handles in different situations, and what does what when and where!!

Just because Scorpion Racing have big expensive adverts in the magazines does not make them a good supplier, they do not have a good reputation! and their kit is over priced. They do not manufacture anything themselves although they do now have stuff made in China!!

Devon-Rover:
I'll echo the above comments, cheque book offroading will only get you so far. For a start a small lift and a set of bigger Mud tyres will be good, maybe then after some more offroading you'll get sick of knocking the end caps off the bumpers so HD one's front and rear. Then you might bend a track rod so some Sumo bars will go on the shopping list. Then whilst sticking them on you'll notice a small ding on a diff case so a pair of proper diff guards will go on.

Make a start on the mods and then get out there and enjoy yourself, by then knowing what terrain you drive the most will help you decide what mod is best next.

And back to the original question about modified white Discos...............
