New (replacement) coil springs, which ones?

[mogindo]

I know there must be a tread about this topic, but I really couldn't find it.

I need to replace coil springs in the rear on my 1997 Disco tdi 300 auto.
Question is which coils springs.

I looked at:
Britpart yellows, but that is 1" lift
OME Medium duty 1-5" lift

I don't want to add any significant lift, (maybe 1") and I am worrying that if I do that I will have change the drive shaft joints, steering (something) and will need longer brake hoses.

So question remains, what brand of coil springs should I get for replacement (and hopefully better performance). I don't think OME makes standard height replacements. I do get out of town quite a bit, then I load up probably 150kg in the boot.

Someone told me that I can use OME medium duty in the rear and leave front as stock, but it does not sound correct since those OME seem the have lift.

Any opinions?

You won't need to change anything for 1" lift but it will more then likely come up more then 1" due to the sagged original springs

Lovell's 2" lift, won't affect uni-joint angles or brake hoses or steering geometry and you should have standard height when fully loaded, passengers and gear, each spring is tailored to each corner, Regards Frank.

What's your opinion on the Britpart yellow coil springs. They have 1" lift, but, yeah who knows what that means.

Wouldn't bother with anything from ****part

I've got poly airs in the back of mine they are awesome when I've got a big load on just pump a few psi in and good as gold.

Give Les Richmond Automotive (Peter I think) a call.
I put these in my RRC:
Rear springs LRA White
Front springs LRA Red

FWIW I fitted Kings HD springs and Bilstein shocks a year ago on the advice of KLR and I've been very happy with the result, rides level no sag, feels like a limo (somewhat surprisingly).

OA height gain over standard is less than 2"

I put a kit from the UK with britpart 2 inch longer springs and bilstein shocks, I got the medium duty, bull bar, steel rear bar etc and I have been very happy with the result, I paid $800 delivered from the UK for springs, shocks, extended bump stops, rear spring relocation cones and extended braided brake lines, so a really good deal.

unfortunately 2 weeks ago a red P plater wrote it off at a set of lights for me, but the suspension kit was fine.
