Shock Absorbers to recommend?

Hello to all, thinking of getting some new shocks + springs, spend about 90% on road and not bothered about any lifts could you guys recommend good brands that you have had experience with, to improve road handling, thanks for your time Ian

I just fiited Bilstein B6 gas shockers to my '93 Disco. Have only done the rear, but the difference was incredible. I was replacing original equipment at 49k miles mind you. The most noticable difference was over speedbumps, how quickly and gently the back end settles. I really couldn't believe the difference.

They are about £67 from Paddocks but you can get them quite easy from loads of places.

I am about to get a pair for the front to complete the setup.

Cheers Jock are you using standard coils?

I've had the bilsteins on my disco for 15000 miles now and can't fult them. Make a land rover feel like a car on the road.

Sorry geezer, type. It's an '03 Disco and I replaced the air springs! Coils on the front, which I don't intend to replace, just the shockers.

I've had good success with Terrafirma suspension - TF119 is the part number for the Disco 2 rears. Much less money than Koni/Bilstein, but really strong and well built units.

They also do an extended unit. It also helps if you used a terrafirma coil spring as they are really well matched.

got old man emu on my fender had um on there for about 4 years or more cant fault them at all
