Thread: D1 Suspension Upgrade?

If you can afford it i would do a complete suspension change, shocks and springs.
Some king springs, or similar will set you back around $320-$350 a set for 50mm lift, and the shocks probably a little more around $500-$600.
Or you could buy a whole kit which is around $700-800, Shane from suspension stuff is really good!!

Hi Unit 1,
Like many others on here I had a talk to Shane at Suspension stuff and I did look at a lot of others and have had a number of different brands over the Years. Have just installed in Mine a high lift 2" Dobinson and Lovell schocks as I wonted a softer ride suspension then the 2" Kings I had On.
Very happy so far with ride and handling.
Rules:- here are some Picks.
Front springs New and Old.

Rear spring New and Old.

Will post more When I start thread for My Disco Build

I have to agree. Shane at Suspension Stuff has a great reputation and will only recomend a brand if it will suit your application, so you can be sure he will only give you what you need. always ready to have a chat and work out what you need for your situation.

cheers

little hijack - looking forward to your build up thread mate, I have a soft spot for the 3 door disco's

My springs are slightly different to 4 door due to weight difference between two door and four door and shane assisted in the correct springs for this configuration. shane swapped one set to get right balance front rear.
