I've just sold the race exhaust from my motorbike and have $650 free to throw at the Disco. :D [nomedia="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLb9jPuDS9Y"]YouTube- Yello - Oh Yeah[/nomedia]

I've been contemplating a few things to buy for it, but there's so many choices...suspension, armour, etc.

I've been fancying a 2" suspension lift, but the local prices are horrendous (2-3x the price), so have been looking at kits from England (hey well the pound's worth peanuts!). A few of you have pointed me in the right direction to a few shops online (big thanks btw!), but all of my enquiries to these shops have been ignored and received no reply! I've tried several times and not heard anything back! I've found the same problem with buying bike parts in the past...it's bloody annoying and it seems that the English aren't interested in anything but local business. :doh:

This leaves me with a few options...buy from ebay, or see if someone can buy locally from your end and send the goods over. It seems around the 200 pound mark gets some decent +2" shockers and springs, which works out to be around $330, and leaves me with $'s left over for postage, bump-stops, etc.

Australia's very much Toyota and Nissan-ville, and there's precious little help or parts for Land Rovers, so I'm wondering asides from the springs and shocks, exactly what else I'd need to achieve the lift and have everything behaving properly.

If anybody can advise me or be willing to help out with sourcing parts from your end, I'd be most appreciative! Any other ideas on how to wax my cash on the Disco are also appreciated! :)
 
there are a million threads about 2 inch lift kits and what is needed or not needed, you wont find a difinitive answer as most of it is all opinions

springs - shocks - extended brake lines - extended bump stops

thats all you need for a 2 inch lift really
 
I'm curious, is there any problem with the shops from down under? Are they too expensive?

Yes, they are a greedy pack of thieves! There is no rational explanation for the over-inflated prices they charge for Landy stuff, often 3-4 times the price of what you'd pay for the same item. :doh: I don't like being screwed over, hence why looking overseas.
