Hi all, looking for a set of R/R h/d springs red/white coded to give my 90
a lift.

Anyone got a set kicking around or know of a cheap supplier? Cheapest so
far is John Craddock, unless of course you know better?

Cheers, Roy.

Are you after "standard" HD front/rear, or are you looking for something
with a bit of lift?

Cheers

i got my rangerover heavy duty rear springs (red/white code) from
paddocks. Think they were about =A311 each.
They give about 1-1.5" lift overall, but give just over 2.5" of extra
wheel travel on each corner due to their increased length.
But to get the benefit of this you need longer shocks. Beware that
although the spring rates are very simillar to standard 90 front
springs and hence giving simillar road feel, the rears on your defender
are a fair bit stiffer than the rangie h/d rears and you`ll feel the
back end wallows a little on corners. I fitted +2" procomp es9000 gas
shocks to overcome this. Feels much better, but still a bit woolly.
Offroad they`re excellent and give superb wheel travel.
check out www.muddy-tyres.net/Nicks90.htm for pictures of the end
result.

Thanks Nick, Richard yes I need a bit of lift as I have 33x12.5 tyres which
grind the eyebrows now I have fitted the heavier diesel engine, 2" ideally.

Cheers, Roy.

I'd suggest Britpart Yellow springs - they are ceratinly
very popular around here with those that tow a lot.

options are:

Front
-----
DA4201 Spring - Front RRC/Disco/90 Medium Duty 30mm
Lift 20-50Kg Load (Pair)
- Britpart Yellow £55.00 inc VAT

or for a slightly higher lift
DA4202 Spring - Front RRC/Disco/Def Heavy Duty 40mm
Lift 50-110Kg Load (Pair)
- Britpart Yellow £55.00 inc VAT


Rear
----
DA4203 Spring - Rear RRC/Disco/90 Light Duty 40mm
Lift Light Load (Pair)
- Britpart Yellow £62.00 inc VAT

DA4204 Spring - Rear RRC/Disco/90 Medium Duty 50mm
100Kg Load (Pair) - Britpart Yellow
£62.00 inc VAT

DA4205 Spring Rear - RRC/Disco Heavy Duty 50mm Lift
200Kg Load (Pair) - Britpart Yellow
£62.00 inc VAT

The medium duty rears give the 50mm lift, but they are
pretty "stiff" - the heavy duty rears are, well, solid
and I'd suggest that they are best reserved for those
who lots of very heavy towing.

Cheers
Richard
