teabag Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Mine 435mm front and 460mm rear. This subject has come up before and none of the measurements given in the thread were the same, which is understandable as it depends on the weight being carried in the vehicle at the time.

freeagent Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 Can't remember what mine was but it differed by 20mm either side at the rear... I replaced the rear springs with OEM Mil-spec springs, and the 20mm difference stayed... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Attryde Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 The standard springs are 15.4in long when off the vehicle. The fronts are 150lb/in and the rears are 207lb/in. Depending on how much weight you need to carry, landrover spring NRC9448 (blue/red) 225lb/in and 15.3in free length works well on the rear. and I would say that Landrover spring NRC9946 (Blue green) 175lb/in and 15.19in would work on the front. Info from experience with the rears and this for the front :- Clicky Oh and buy genuine springs as the ones made by britpart are not the best quality although a bit cheaper. I would suggest Rough Country standard length shocks from David at LLama 4x4 :- Clicky Pete. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subaquasaes Posted December 9, 2008 Author Share Posted December 9, 2008 Ok thanks for all your help Is there anyone on this forum from the Aberystwyth area if so could we get together to try and sort some greenlaning or off roading Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulN Posted December 9, 2008 Share Posted December 9, 2008 1996 Disco 300Tdi Interested in this thread too..... 'Old Smokey sits a little lower at the back than I'd like and she's on original springs so I'd like to replace just the rears. Fair to say that after 12.5 years this sag will be removed by fitting new OEM ones? or are there Heavy Duty springs at standard height (Tow a lot!) Can't see my VAxxxx vin on the list! Hope this suplements your line of questioning "Subaquasaes" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
