doddel Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 It's time to replace the springs on my 110. I have 2" lift now, but I would like to lower that to just 1". The main purpose of my landrover is travelling, with the occasional greenlaning, so no heavy offroading. So I want something that is really good on the road, also when loaded. I've heard something about progressive springs, but no idea where to get them. I've also heard good things of King springs, but I haven't found a dealer in the UK yet, and I am afraid they are a bit expensive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest diesel_jim Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 Why not just go for stock LR heavy duty's? the HD fronts will give you a good inch (possibly slightly more, but if you have a winch/bar it'll drop down a bit) and the HD rears with the helper inserts. these might lift it too much, but if you used "standard duty" outers instead of the HD's, you might well be there.

doddel Posted August 14, 2007 Author Share Posted August 14, 2007 King Springs well, I had seen that site, but there is no link to dealers in the UK. And no luck with google either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know Jim. I fitted a set of second hand helper springs to my Defender 110 station wagon. All well used springs. The lifted the Defender three inches at the back mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doddel Posted August 18, 2007 Author Share Posted August 18, 2007 up still don't know if the OEM ones are progressive, and still no Kings springs dealer in the UK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveG Posted August 19, 2007 Share Posted August 19, 2007 OEM springs are not progressive. Discovery II springs were, but they won't fit the rear mounts of your 110. You could always fit standard LR springs and 1" spacers. Cheers Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
