Foundry 4x4

Gooders70 · Jan 22, 2011

I've been looking at the lift kit this company do for my disco 2. It is rear spacers (so I can keep the air bags) and ****part front springs. I will be adding longer shocks and brake lines as and when the money is available but for now just want to lift it so I can get some larger tyres under it.
Has anyone any experience of these guys or this kit even?
Or can anyone point me in the right direction for something better?

Should be ok. I've got some from Toddco (USA) which I'm waiting to fix (next sunny weekend). have a look at:
www.discovery2.co.uk / 2" Suspension lift

However, itrs not really something you can do piecemeal - you really need to change all the shocks and fit longer front springs at the same time.

hope this helps

I'm gona do the front springs at the same time! Just was gona leave the brake lines and shocks for a while. I need the space to get the tyres under as the ones I'm using are nearly done and can't fit the new ones until it's lifted a bit.
I was more after finding out if anyones used the foundry ones and if the britpart springs are any good.

On the Britpart springs - depends what you are using them for. The off-roaders on here done call them `****part' without reason.... The stronger the springs the better really, especially if you are going to fit other kit. I had a look at Foundry spacers (they are just `up the road' ) and they are very similar to Toddco's - as you'd probably expect. Though I think Toddco's finishing is better. I'd say that the Foundry spacers are certainly fit for purpose, though I dont know of anyone who's fitted them

i have purchased from foundry 4x4 in the past and have never had any problems but i've not used the kit your talking about.

I to have used foundry 4x4. Not ordered a liftkit from them, but every other part ordered has been good quailty, and delivery times have been great

Fitted a set to a friends car, seems VERY good value to me......only time will tell how the springs will hold up. I bought my shocks from foundry, polite, speedy service imo.

i had this set on for a few months now very good,
front springs are britpart +2 hd but they have sagged a bit i have got a winch bumper and winch.

when i go over a bump in do get a loud bang on the back when exiting the bump worse if the off road button is pressed.

Thats because I bet you still have the factory shocks fitted, and they are "topping out". Not good tbh as it can damage the shocks, you should consider +2" shocks atleast for the rear if you have retained the air with a spacer lift
