Reply With QuoteRedd the rears will go straight in with the addition of lower perches and upper isolators as you already know.
Fronts can be made to fit, but are not a direct fit like the rears.

SupporterHi all
quick one, will D1 rear springs fit a D2?
I'm currently getting a D2 back on the road and it has air bag rears (SLS) I'm pretty sure it's shot as it has been sitting for at least 6 years, air compressor doesn't kick in. From what I read the air system is prone to failing and the bags are most probably leaking
I have seen a set of 2" rear springs on marketplace pretty cheap and am thinking it will be simpler (and probably cheaper) to swap over to coils. Even if it sits at stock height after the swap, that's fine, I know I'll need a set of spring seats and isolation rubbers but they are easy (and pretty cheap) to source.
I know I keep mentioning price/cost but this is a vehicle I intend to get on the road and then sell to finance another one plus add a few nice bits to my D2 along the way, so the less I have to outlay the better (labour is fine, I can do most things as needed)
cheers

SupporterThanks Slunnie
Google gave me some conflicting information, some straight fit others similar but different heights. Either way I think I'll try to grab them

The ride heights is interesting. I was under the impression it was the same, but I just cant see how that can be possible given the extra rear weight of the Disco2. Most 2" lift springs give 20-40mm of lift, so I wouldn't expect too much lift from those springs but you might get increased spring rate.

SupporterThat's pretty much what I found out as well, I do have a set of 2" blocks if I need a bit height to make things level out. I'm now just waiting to find out if they are still available

IIRC you'll need to tap the holes. But you probably already knew that.Originally Posted by Slunnie

Did they not cut the screw threads for the perch if SLS was fitted?

SupporterI've read How to's that did and didn't, probably depends if it was Monday/Friday build or a midweek.....
