    Wheel spacers will see your disco unroadworthy...

    Are they illegal or unsafe because there nothing legal about my set up

    intentions are to get 34" simex or something on 15" rims later and keep the STT as road tyres

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

    The brake lines wont have ADR compliance and thats about it....

    The lift WILL be legal, due to tolerances in manufacturing of Disco's....

    And No, dont use 15's... FFS...... 16" rims are cheap...

    Spacers are illegal, insurance voiding, and can be dangerous....

    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?

    Its not a case of my one is bigger at all and if some one would have said that a standard lift is just as good as a 2 inch lift 3 inch lift or 4 inch I would of left it standard but reality is that it isn't

    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
