Anyone with Defender recommendations?

Id like to strap in some 7100s on my Isuzu 110 - does anyone have some recommendations on open / closed lengths and damp rates?

Cheers

I had a TD RTC damper on my Defender, worked well when I first installed it, until I had a wheel alignment done, and then the car never drove straight again (even after adjusting the thing literally 5 separate times).

Also replaced all the tie rod ends and rebuilt the pitman arm balljoint at the same time as installation, and they only lasted around 15k. I put the premature wear down to extra pressure being exerted on the balljoints by the spring.

IMO you would be better off spending the money on a good quality HD damper, without the return to centre spring.

Cheers.
