Has anyone fitted the new X5K material Kings springs to a Defer. According to their web site all 4x4 springs by mid 2012 will be made from this new fangled space agey stuff - X5K material.
If so, what are your thoughts on them so far. I'm tossing up between the above an some Lovells for me 130.

Thanks

I've had X5K coils (they are in Lara and have been for several years)...

With the custom lift was the only solution to prevent coil bind (breaks chassis)...

They are still going strong I believe... (About 5-6 years later)

Thanks Tombie.
I was after someone who had used a set of X5K coils. to get someone who's had them in anything over a year is outstanding!
Thanks again.
