Just remember you get what you pay for
If its a matter of a few hundred dollars save the extra cash
as you will regret cheap stuff later on ;)

OME springs, with OME or Pro Comp long travel shocks.

OME shocks Lovell Springs.

Some times its not worth paying less

What springs and shocks do you currently have in it?

If you've got at least aftermarket rear shocks, then just replace the 4 coils with King or OME.

Hi
I got an EFS +50mm spring and shocky set from 4WD Direct - 4X4 Suspension and Accessory products for most of the popular Aussie 4WDs, SUVs, AWDs & UTEs. (http://www.4wddirect.com.au)
They were substantially cheaper(ie hundreds of$$$) than all the quotes I got and included delivery to my door(handy as Im in a country town)
The kit is quite stiff compared to the marshmallow ride the worn out 200000km standard stuff had,articulation is good.
Fitted myself,easily done but you definately need to hire/buy/borrow a spring compressor!!!!
There is somebody else with a Disco on here mentions having EFS suspension in their signature.

Cheapest lift is coil spacers. Depends on what you are trying to achieve with the lift. Cheap often costs more in the long run

[Slunnie]

2" coil spacers will also need 2" longer shocks which on a D2 also means longer everything else like brake lines, ABS lines, Xmember spacers, bumpstops etc.

Cheapest lift is to go to a spring manufacturer and tell him what you want - 4 x linear springs = $600 incl GST. Then get shocks to suit - that'll require a bit of shopping around.

DIY is cheaper than off the shelf + you get what you want as opposed to what is available.

Oops, 4 X linear springs + $300 (not $600 as per my last post)

You definitely get what you pay for. Keep away from TJM, particularly their front shock absorbers fail in the bottom bush. The bush is too small and not glued to the housing. I went through two pairs, they were replaced under warranty, however these failures occured on the bitumen around 5000 - 8000 ks. Got my money back and had Bilsteins installed. Rear coils lost 30mm of the 50mm lift after a 6000km Simpson Desert crossing last October. I had to fight TJM to replace these under warranty.

If you require reliability and durability, spend the money on a good set-up, otherwise I wouldn't bother doing it. I think there are others who have learnt the hard way as well.....
