Given the choice, would you run 33s on the standard dual finish alloys and get a remap or get zus first? Lol I'm confused.

OK personal choice again, but seeing as you have quite nice wheels to begin with I would go with the remap, I did my remap before getting my wheels, I guess it is a function over looks thing, but the remap changed they way the car drove, that will have a greater affect on your driving experience than nice rims, also when people come up and say lovely rims mate it can get a bit uncomfortable!! But if you go remap then where do you stop, I fitted a larger inter-cooler also and a decat a few months after the remap and got an update map to take advantage o the change, they make a slight difference in their own right, the decat stops the the heat and seems to allow it to run smoother still, I took my decat out for my final warranty inspection and have not put it back yet, the heat difference is amazing.Quote:

Thats what I was thinking. Otherwise re map then get zu when I get a gift from the taxman lol.
am I safe running the remap without an intercooler and decat for the time being?
and I imagine I can run the 255/85/16 on the dual finish alloys which should be ok for now.
Yes that's what I did, just tell them what you have and they should map accordingly.Quote:

was going to go that. 255/85/16 BFGs. Plus going to put an equipe bar up front but no winch yet. So I'm pretty sure I will need HD springs at some point. maybe a 2' lift if im lucky otherwise i dont really see a need to lift the defender. lol
they shouold arrive in 2-3 weeks

whats the go with lifts? I don't want it too high. Maybe a 2 inch lift?? I'm more so interested in getting good flex out of it with out rubbing.
Remember the following:Quote:

TDCi require a DC front shaft due to TC angle relative to front diff...
A 90 can easily run 255-85-16 on stock suspension without issue.

and yes, it wont flex any better. I should have said an actual suspension upgrade as opposed to just a lift. as in springs,shocks etc.
any suggestions?
I'm not too big into massive lifts and all that. If I could get more flex out of the standard sus I'd be happy. But I suppose with a 2' lift I'm safe with out a DCS for now? but that'll be on the list for down the road.
I was told koni raids are good and I'll never look back. lol.
what have people used or suggest?
