    Standard 90 300tdi CSW spring rates

    I have had few issues of late with my springs. About 5 years ago I fitted +30mm springs to my Defender 90 300tdi csw. I was great improvement and actually gave me a +50 lift. Over the years and adding of weight (winch and maggiolina hard top roof tent) plus fitting pro-comp shocks, which are very soft, it started to sag, but not evenly. It sagged to the passengers side most notably in the rear. I fitted new springs to the back. These were the same brand but all their specs had changed and were rated as +50 hd but actually had less winds in them, but this only fixed it a bit. So i reckon my fronts need doing too.

    What still have at home is the old rear springs which for a csw which should be Heavy duty. Does anyone one know what lb rate standard springs are front and rear. If the rears are about the right rate then I might just throw them in front and see if that fixes it. It would certainly save a spend up.

    Cheers

    Lots of OME and after market info, nothing for D90csw particularly, but some D90 references.
    Are you weights even side to side or are your springs sagging unevenly?

    Thanks for that. According to the link it looks like its worth a crack. As far as I can tell the weight is even on the car. When I removed the rears there was a clear difference in the height of the springs. cheers.
