Thread: OME 761s to soft for my defender, Help needed

Personally, I'd be running the 751's with sliders and a bar. They're 230lb/in and will tolerate the weight better with less sag in the long term. They'll also be a good touring rate.

cheers mate,

Kinda low on funds so would like to use these ones, was thinking about putting them in and maybe a 10mm spacer

is this a bad idea and should i just bite the bullet and buy the 751s?

ben

Please keep in mind that I have a Disco, but I have spent a lot of time thinking and doing suspension setup.

I think the 230lb will be a better long term proposition, and the 200lb will be fine also, but may drop a bit with age. 180lb on a disco with bullbars will drop back to standard over time, but they do work. The Defender is heavier, but the 200lb rates are more resilient.

thanks Slunnie, i think i will sell them and get some 230lb

Anyone want some brand new OME 761s front coils, $100?


Ben

every ome coil set ive seen only lifts to 40mm not 50mm.

for a bit more than that 100 bucks, you could have had the right springs from suspension stuff

cheers phil

They'll sit lower than OE HD 110 springs, which are 225lb/in, 15.3" free length off side, 14.8" near side.
