suspension and tyre ideas?

[kimber longmaster]

Hi guys,
I just got myself a 1996 disco 1 v8 es which i am very happy with,
however i am looking to give it a few mods i.e 2" + suspension lift and a good set of tyres,will i need anything other than shocks and springs? i have done some research and checked out the faq's , i will mainly be driving in sand but occasionally mud and a bit of road. i will also be traveling 4 up and luggage at times weather this has any bearing.
also where would you suggest going for a drive in drive out mods in brisbane ? and any idea on price?
thanks a lot Terry sorry for the amount of questions:)

Springs and shocks is all.

Id just go to ARB. I'm not sure of their current prices, but I would expect something around $1300 or a bit over.

If you go a 2" lift it won't really need anything but springs and shocks.If you go 245/70-r16 or 245/75-r16 you shouldnt need to do anything else.But once the bug bites you won't be able to help yourself the wallet will always be empty:D:D

yeah it really depends on how far you want to do. i got a price from arb and it wsa very high at $1700. i would go to a small independent place as they are usually alot cheaper.


245/75 r16 tyres are a good size for everyday use. is this car going to be used as your daily driver or just your play toy

i have also been quoted 1700 from fourbys but that was with correctional radius arms which i have heard i may not need, the missus has a 350 z to use as a daily so im not fussed about going quite far with it........just not sure i want to go cutting the arches etc even knowing i am a sheet metal worker /boiler maker

Definitely try out the above place. I got 4 Dobinson 2" lifted springs, 4 Dobinson HD Shocks and a Dobinson Steering Damper for $800 just last month. Well and truly worth it and I love the package, car rides so well now :thumbsup:
