Looking to replace springs on VLAD I've seen TerraFirma HD standard height springs. Has anyone fitted them and how do you find them good/bad? Going to be towing large caravan.
 
Not quite the same, but I replaced my RR Police spec springs with Terrafirma +2" Medium duty springs and the uprating is quite noticable. And that was going from the noticable upgrade from tired standard springs to the police spec ones!

If anything I'd say they're only just a little bit too harsh slightly softer for unladen driving would be good, although I've had the back loaded up with about 300-500kg of logs and oil and it didn't drive much differently at all, just took longer to stop!! I was expecting the rear of the car to sit down, but it didn't.
I'd say they will be more than up to the job, maybe a little over kill - possibly look at medium duty instead of HD terrafirmas, as I've heard that the med are equivalent to other brands HD springs.
 
Thanks Saltlick
I've looked for standard height Terrafirma Medium Duties but all I can find is +2" medium. Don't want a lift would like to keep at normal height.

I have standard height medium all round on my 90.

They handle fine, though have started rusting after only 6 months of use.

Just had a look though, and can't see them for sale anywhere obvious.
 
Torsionbhudda - have you got a 90 or a 110? If it's a 90 my RR Police springs will fit, and will be a good load carrying upgrade over standard. You're welcome to try them and if they work well then buy them off me, if they're no good, send them back and they can go back in the shed until I can be arsed to list on eBay! They're about 18 months old and as new under the mud! :D
What do you think?
 
I've just fitted a set of britpart standard height hd springs.
I've not driven it yet so can't fully comment, but I've heard to many bad things about Terrafirma of late.
First picture shows how nose down it was.

And they've definitely done their job at picking the front end up.

Thanks for the offer Saltlick.
Tbh if I try them and they are no use I might not be able to get them back to you quick as I'll be home for Easter Weekend and then going be away for 8-10weeks with work. But thanks for your offer.

Has Any one ever fitted -1" Springs heard they might be another route to go.

As for Britpart I will not use them for a simple nut and bolt let alone major parts.
