    The bloke who invented it now makes boats that ride over rough water perfectly smoothly by using four floats,one on each corner set-up like independant suspension. Pat

    Unfortunately Serg, 3 Gigabyte per month Wireless account doesn't allow me to view U tube without excessively slowing things down for the rest of the month..

    Actually while you suspension guys are here,what do you think of poly spring seats/spacers,30mm thickness on the springs to help with corrigations?.For $100 I think they are worth a try. Pat

    It' been ages since I've had a good look over a Defender, but do they have rubber insulater rings between the springs and chassis mounts?
    Fitting them, made from old conveyor belting to an 85 County made a significant difference to noise and vibrations heard/felt inside the vehicle.

    The only reports I have had on them were from a mate who fitted them to a comp rangie. He said it made the vehicle handle poorly so he took them out.

    You may want to check if they are legal???

    Pat, all they are usually used for is to even up spring heights or as a cheap way to raise one end of the car, and they will probably reduce a bit of NVH in a Defender.

    Riding corrugations is a spring/wheel rate/damper rate thing.
