Reply With QuoteLet me know how you go relocating the shocks outside the springs, part numbers would be good.

I'm hoping this thread will keep on topic...........my previous defer I fitted Billies and I've read good tings about Koni, but at a bit of reading and a chat with a member who is running Superior i'm committed to going down this path.
110 TD5 starting with the front only at this stage, will be fitting 110HD Frong Springs (130 fronts)
nugget is running 10" +3 on his 130 with standard 80 series rebound (300) and pressure ??
Vern is running 12" +5 his rangie I assume with 370 rebound and 150psi gas
nugget is happy with the front on his but indicated if he had them out again he would revalve
anybody with a 110 running the +3 shocks on the front? have you changed the valving or pressure?
I am also looking at moving the shocks so they sit in front of the springs......works fine on rangies running air suspension
I probably should be working on the rears at the same time but the TF are doing an OK job and I need to replace the fromt springs

Mate I ran twin front shocks on my Defender in Africa which puts the additional shock in front of the spring, the brackets were from Britpart by memory, never broke, etc... though it does mean you have a shock tower above the spring which you may not want. Quite heavy duty though, still have them somewhere...
Certainly a lot easier to change shocks...

I believe you can use the brackets off a range rover classis with air suspension......I have the top bracketOriginally Posted by BadCo.
there are some members running air bags on the front of the defender therefore must have a solution.....

comparing pics on airbag man website, id say they use these as part of their kit

That's the one, a bad photo maybe zoom in, but they still maintain good articulation and are quire robust where they bolt on to the panhard rod.

OK....let get thread back on track...
who has fitted superior engineering shocks......are you happy with cruiser setting? or have you changed them

I will reply here instead of to your pm.
I run them in +5" configuration
My set up is lse rangie with isuzu 4bd1t, isuzu msa gearbox, winch, bar, 3 batteries, sliders, sill tanks, lr tank, rear arb bar with wheel and jerry carrier, 33's, full roof rack, so you get an idea of the weight etc...
I ran them with stock valving first up. Which is from memory about 85-120 variable compression, and 300 rebound. Now I had these dialed all the way up to make the ride firmer.
Now I run the same compression, but the rebound up front it 370 and down back is 400. I set the shocks to there lowest setting up front and on number 2 up back now.
It transformed the car.
You could probably get away with leaving the fronts at 300, but personally somewhere between 340-360 would be ideal. 400 is perfect up back.
