defender 90 suspension help

Does any one know if the suspension (shocks and springs) from a disco 1 will fit my '85 90?

They will physically fit, yes, but might not be rated the same as 90 ones.

depends if you want to try to give your 90 a "discovery" feel... might work, might be a bit soft and wallowy, depends on how you load the 90 up, winch,nudgebar etc etc.

For the short time it takes to swap the bits over, i'd give it a go. you might be pleasantly suprised.



or miffed.

disco suspension/ steering fitted my 1987 90 a treat (although i did change the steering box too as the drop link is different, plus mine 90 box was 'freeplay city'..) as for roadholding/ driveability, i think it feels a hell of alot more solid (although i did buy a set of uprated springs all round and replaced any suspect suspension/steering joints) so personaly, i cant fault it another plus point is that you shound gain rear discs off the rear disco axle..

duh.. i thought you meant axles too:doh: so pretty much ignore everything i just said..lol.. although the shocks feel ok (but the disco was fitted with spax or bilstiens or some aftermarket shocks all round anyway..)

Cheers for that, i've got an oppatunity to get pro comp springs and shocks from a disco 1 so I'll give them a go. Thanks again for the help.
