range rover springs

<< < (2/3) > >>

lee celtic:
I have a 2" lift and have trimed a little off the front bumper end caps and the rear arch to fit 235 85's .

clbarclay:
As said above as well ans free length (how long the spring is with no weight on it) the rate (the force required to compresses the spring a particular distance) is also improtant. One without the other is of little use. This is a useful guide to the lengths and rates of coil springs for land rovers.

It depends just what spec the RRC springs are, stick a pair of red/white stipe springs (RRC heavy duty rear) under the front of a discovery and you will likely have more lift than you wanted.

The Discovery is generally a bit heavier than the RRC and the RRC has a self leveling unit on the rear which allowed them to use even softer rear springs.

auf_wiedersehen_pet:
I bought a set of Heavy Duty +2" for my RRC. After a few years, broke the RRC and stuck them on my Tdi Disco, along with all of the other goodies. I think the fact that they are heavy duty makes up fot the extra weight of the Tdi lump. Been on two years and are fine.





I know they are different colours in different pics, I had them coated!

crazymac:
Surely the only weight difference is on the front? The back should be the same weight wether a Tdi or a V8?

Dr.Ed:
the roof on the discovery is significantly larger and steel - RR roof was fibreglass?
