Please tell me that this is not a problem!! Coils for a D1

**Discovery300Tdi** · 19th June 2009, 07:09 PM

Well i think i did it again!!!!!! Just got these 2" ironman coils (New) for the rear and put them next to a pair of EFS 2" coils for the front and the difference is about 2 and a half coils. I know alot of you guys are going to say that its nothing that coils spacers wont fix, thing is my budget right now is LOW low lowl low.

I've been hanging to lift this thing for about nearly 3 months now, and to find this is shattering. What do you blokes think???

Another Question i have is see howthe top of the ironman coils are closer together, now is that the top or bottom???

cheers simo

As long as the black springs are for the front i'm pretty shore you will be fine

Front coils are alway's smaller to me they look just about right

The closer togethor coil end on the rears go's to the top if i can remember correctly

CHEERS TIM.

G'day Tim

Yeah the black springs (EFS) are for the front. i keep forgeting which way the closer together coils go

Are they bigger due to to weight you put in the back of your rig????

cheers matey.

heheheh just did mine yesterday mate ...watch out for those shock mount treads mate..

remember the easiest way to get the front diff down for the spring to just slide out is to unbolt the sway bar mounts and gently lower the diff down but really keep an eye on the brake lines diff breathers and abs lines ....i was lucky as mine already has extended lines in ...havwe fun

cheers

Thanks for the heads up mate, For the front i was actual just going to undo the 4 bolts on the shock tower, undo the bottom shock nut and just lift the body, heared that the springs just fall out!!!! Will find out soon enough. lol

Not if the brake lines are too short

... Watch em closely .... and test the articulation verses brake line length ... after fitting

Thanks mike will do. i was told that you should be worried about the brake lines if your going over the 2" lift fitting. But i will watch out for them.

If i was going to extend the brake lines where would i get that done????
