Post by: Bulli on December 02, 2005, 19:19:55: Before you fit the springs , speak to the supplier. You will find heavy duty rears will give a harsher ride, if you arent planning on loats of kit in the boot. Plus the springs wont necessarily be the right ones with the bumper...1 inch spacers really isnt the best answer. the right spring is the correct solution. I know you are probably itching to fit it all..but thats going to take time so change the springs for the correct ones. Who did you buy them from? several places list 1 inch springs.....scorpion for a start , their springs are top quality and not too pricey..less that a set of wrong springs with spacers.
Not wanting to sound harsh or critical but i made the same mistake and it costs more in the long run!

Post by: Range Rover Blues on December 03, 2005, 02:00:48: Got to agree with Bulli, standard springs with spacers arn't the best solution gie=ven the extra height and body roll you'l get.

Post by: denviks on December 03, 2005, 02:22:56: cheers guys. i have been thinking alot about this.....i tow my caravan with the disco alot and i use it for everyday driving. with this in mind i think i may just go for standard HD springs. the springs i have fitted at the moment are really sagging so anything will be better than whats fitted now. cheers for the advice. just shows you how many options there really is :shock: :wink: :wink:
