Thread: Defender 90 TD5 2003 Suspension raise 2"

Thanks Redline, great.

I'm particularly interested to have the minimum and maximum lengths of the Koni's confirmed, along with the actual part numbers of the setup you end up with. Hopefully then others can use this thread as the definitive "yes or no" to this on going question!

Cheers

Jon, there was a thread started covering all things Koni shocks with the intent to be a single source of info. If you collect info it would be a nice touch to expand on that existing thread.

As an aside, does the Koni 90 series foul on the front coil like the Terra Firma and Tough Dog big bore shocks? Something you might want to confirm before ordering.

I had koni and king spring combo on my 90 and it was awesome. Standard length heavy track adjustables ( can't find series on them). Krrs 04 king rear springs. Car not out side so can't check front. Rear didn't appear to give a lift so used a 2 inch spacer. Didn't measure travel but was pretty descent and the handling was brilliant. As one does, I decided that I needed way more travel so went for terra firma 5 inch extended shocks with cranked rear arms and dislocating cones.........wish I hadn't. Not a patch on the konis. A rear diff lock would have worked much better. My range rover classic is a happy chappy riding on the konis. The 90 suspension set up is the same as disco 1s and range rover classics.....all interchangeable. The front end I've left alone at the moment. Seems to drive quite nicely without any caster corrections. From my research, the general consensus with anything up to 2 inch was try first, then correct if necessary. Hope this helps. Oh, one last thing, had an ome set up on my previous 90, about a 1 1/2 inch lift.....also very good.
