Was that a sales pitch or what :D:D:D:D
Those procomps sounded great unfortunitly I couldnt get the info I needed being a universal type shock
I spoke to the UK and America and no good so instead Ive ordered Bilstein 7100 hehehehehe and ofcoarse I have to wait
for them
hay did anyone ask if Slunnie has copy right laws against those springs
Here is my shopping list paid for waiting for delivery
Springs Dobinson
Shocks Bilstein 7100 series front AK7110SB06 and rear AK7110S06
Front Lower Shock Mounts Rovertym
Cross Member Spacers Rovertym
Brake Lines Expedition Exchange
ABS Extensions Expedition Exchange
Cross Member Spacers Rovertym
Modified Watts linkage Rovertym
Yet to sorce bumpstops
Grand total $2300 and counting
ARB Lockers and Maxi Drive half shafts go in next Wednesday
265x75x16 Coopers are already on
Need to organise a front bar and CDL next and wheel spacers to widen the stance
And I’m done shopping for a while
Special thanks to Slunnie, Disco white and others who have put up with me ranting and raving
No more speak till it all fitted unless of coarse I run into a problem or asked to :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:);)
Wheel spacers will see your disco unroadworthy...
Nice shopping list...
If you want more offset get some Mickey T rims...

Show me where your set-up is unsafe???Quote:

No-one plans an accident, but have one with spacers (eg.. hit a pedestrian) and your screwed....
BTW - Openly bragging the rig is illegal on a public board does nothing for our image!
So when will it be ready? I am interested in seeing how well the car goes up against an essentialy stock Landy. Like I said I cannot justify or understand the "my one is bigger then your one guide to suspension build ups"
Just out of interest was there any difference in the spring rates between the TD5 and the V8 variants of the model?

Although my Disco performance was excellent in its standard form and I was impressed, there where a few thing that I felt could be improved like approach angels diff and general body clearance and all these can only be improved with spring lift, tyres and bars as all of you have agreed
hence why the spring lift again not case of my one is bigger I don't care to who is bigger or better etc
what impressed me a few years back was a day trip that I went to a place I think was called cabbage tree, I was impressed on how well discovery's, RR performed off road hence why the swap from Nissan to Landrover
to me there isn't a better sight then seeing a good articulated LR hence way this lift
nothing more nothing less I'm not out to say that my disco is taller then Billy bobs or better in any way
I enjoy rough terrain and that is that and with the people I have spoken to have all incarraged me to do it and for the amount of people that have said do it there has been a equal number that has said dont
