    I ordered all four new ones (original spec) from the Four Wheel Drive guys in Melbourne, shipped to Canberra, and they work fine. If you are looking for something beyond factory spec I don't know.

    I would prefer not to quote prices on behalf of a vendor but I did not think the price was all that bad. Go ahead and contact them: Four Wheel Drives Pty Ltd, Largest Range of 4x4 Parts and Accessories in Australia..

    If you have the springs we know of a guy that will reset then to Land Rover specs. He did our series 1 80" and we are happy with them

    I bought springs for my 86' from Melbourne about 25 years ago. They didnt change camber between left and right like the originals and made the car sit high. They were pretty tough though and have lasted the 25 years easily and look good for another 25 at this stage.
