Oh and bottoms when loaded

i'll get some pictures up asap. The springs i've got on the back are Bearmach Blues, 255lbs rating so that's why i don't get it, i took them to be tested at a garage and they said they were fine. The shocks i've got on there are the second pair of pro-comps i've had on as the first pair were...

Well the thing is i regularly (at least once a week), have approx 600+ Kg of weight in the car, mixture of people and luggage, and want to have a nice ride when that is the case. The spring rating on the rear are 255lbs, which seems like plenty, but the car sinks down nearly all the way to...

Hi all, Finally got round to it and swapped the rear shocks for new ones and it's much better. Doesn't bottom like it used to. However the Procomps are really soft when going over bumps and the car still goes quite low when passengers are in it so will get heavier, better shocks for the rear...

Hi Twice, That helped me a lot to make up my mind. I'll just stick to Pro-Comps then and just get then changed and everything should be fine. Thanks a lot, nice to hear that someone else has got it and it works fine. Cheers,

I haven't got pictures right now, but can post some later on. Basically it sags a lot on the driver's side (left hand drive). The manager at mailorder 4x4 has been very helpful and given the sheer amount of heavy duty kits they have sold i have reason to trust the pro-comps will work. but...

Hi, I've got Pro-comp 0-25mm extension. BR 0645P on the front and BR 1077P on the rear. Does it makes a difference (i.e do i need to modify the car), if i get like 0-50mm extension, or even 50-100mm? Tuffback seems like a popular choice. Is it worth changing the rears to them? Cheers

Afternoon, Well as it turns out after spending time underneath the car myself, that the springs and shocks were put on correctly by the garage i took it to in the first place (a formal apology was given to them). I thought the rear springs might have been faulty so i got a spare set which i...

Hi Guys, I contacted the "garage" that fitted the springs and they confessed having put the longer springs on the front. Which, after having contacted mailorder4x4, is the wrong way wrong, like manyof you suggested. However they now refuse to put it right for free on the basis that I just...

That would be ace, thanks a lot mate! I hope the weather is kind enough to back off so i can check which springs are on each axle. I hope in a way the garage did it wrong and it's a "simple" matter of getting them to swap them around. Cheers Dom and all the others of course:)

Cheers for the link Dom, will come in handy. For now i live near weybridge, and apart from Land Rover themselves, i haen't found any Land Rover specialised garages. When the gearbox broke (after 250000miles and 20 years) I took it to LRR which is near the O2 in London, they specialise in Land...

Cheers Dom, The garage i went to had been so far very reliable and professional (very well priced as well, cheaper than the web for tyres!!), and i did trust them. But now i think they don't know much about older cars and Land Rover, small jobs they can do no problem, but they seemed a bit...

Thanks for that guys, I didn't think you could put springs on the wrong way round (goes to show how much i know...). By the wrong way round do you mean upside-down or the wrong pair on the wrong axle? I do remember 2 of the springs were a little shorter than the other 2... It's a start...

Afternoon all, I currently own a 1990 Discovery 1 and recently had the suspension replaced (at a garage). I provided the parts, which were heavy duty Bearmach springs with Pro Comp Gas Shocks (purchased as a kit from mailorder4x4). I've also removed the anti-roll bars and have had shock...
