Self Leveller Removal

foss · Aug 17, 2010

I bought some 130 rear springs for the 110 today as its going to be towing alot.
I have been told to remove the self leveller as fitting heavy duty springs will make the ride awful leaving the unit in place...can anyone confirm?

cheers

I can confirm that is correct. It makes it rock solid. On the plus side it makes power sliding yer landy on a roundabout much easier.

With HD springs and the rear leveller fitted I had to use a 6" drop plate attached to the dixon and bate drop hitch which was on the lowest setting just to get the front wheels on my twin axle caravan to touch the ground.:doh:

I had 2 engines in the back at one point (a 300tdi and a vauxhall astra gsi engine, both with all the ancillaries fitted) and the ride height never dropped.

I learnt by my mistakes anorl. I fitted a set of 130 helper springs inside my rear standard springs. The ride is still nice and soft but the lean when cornering has been dramatically reduced. I'd like to test it with the setup I have now but with a self levelr fitted just to compare.

People dont seem to bother with them and put HD springs on when they fail... and they often do. Are you ready...???? £425 plus VAT for a new one
