Lowering a disco

[wiltshire landyman]

Has any one lowered a disco?? or does anyone know where i can get lowered springs??

Why?? have you seen r driven one????????

no cos no ones stoopid enuff to do one!!:doh:

have you ever seen or driven a subaru imprezza with its suspension raised:doh:

Cutting out the p*ss taking whats the reasons for wanting it lowered??

Every one has raised them/lifted them which does nothing for the handling (of a truck that dosn't handlie great to start with) although does look good. I won't be going off road (live in essex biggest thing im likely to go over is a mini round about) i need something that can tow will fit in car parks (all car parks around here have hight restrictions) and have a pet hate of most things standered (non modified) i've been offered a disco 1 300 that needs some work (welding mainly no surprise there then) and fancy doing somthing different to the norm.

YEP!

discos unlifted fit in car parks & if you only find mini roundabouts in Essex you goin to the wrong places! I manage to get 8" under just on me way home from work.
And they handle pretty well lifted with the right set up.

Buy an Audi

Dead weight? your better just leaving it how it is. TBH. No matter how much you lower it its still a 2 1/4ton off-roader. and a high sided vehicle.

3t is alot to tow, you're better off chipping the ****er than lowering it to tow that

[oldskool]

what size wheels you gonna run?

18'' or 20''

 

[G-man]

....... oh dear........

 

[foss]

18'' or 20''

if you run 20"s with what, 40 profile tyres? how will that lower the chassis (& tow ball) towards the ground? Surely thats near enough the same as runnin 16" with 75 profiles?

 

[juiceyv8]

Low enough?
will tow 3ton
