Thread: Coils and Articulation. It does make a BIG difference.

Steve, you should be FAR to busy for all this! lol
Amazing the difference tho. Could be worth you having a word with Browns Springs in Thomastown too. They are hapy to supply direct and seem to know their stuff with LR. Springs are $70-$90 each I think and you just tell them what you're after and they'll make it for you.

MMMM'' longer springs shouldnt you also have fitted longer shocks. your shocks could be topping out which reduces wheel travel ! :roll: :roll: :roll:

i think you will find that rangie spares springs ARE browns springs.

Brown Springs do make the springs for Range Spares but you can get them custom made at Brown's for a fraction of the cost.

Just tel them the rate and height you want.....thats it. And if they are not quite right then they will reset them free of charge.
I paid $120 cash for a pair.

You are spot on. I am still looking to drop our defender about an inch at the rear (unloaded) to fit it in the garage ops: ops: . Anyway, yesterday we dropped a rear spring out to check the free length, so we jacked the car up. To get the spring out, we then had to jack the axle to release the shocky so we could get the axle down far enough to get the spring out.

We were set to try some rangie springs, but then we found the spring diameter is different so we had to put the lot back together again having achieved nothing ops: ops: Next desert trip I'm going to have to carry my own spares, not sting of the other rangies [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad.gif[/img] I will also have to carry a front and a rear spring.

Hi Steve, where did you get the snorkel from, is this the same place you got the one for you disco from, and the same place Inc got his Disco snorkel from? Matt

Snorkle is a Safari.
From Hardcore4x4 in Mitcham.
