TheSaint Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hi! I wonder if any one have fitted the Defender 90 H/D (NRC9463 and NRC9462) springs on a Discovery I? I want to increase my Discoverys (300Tdi -98) load carrying capacity without any lift. I have read that the standard rear springs are progressive (according to http://members.shaw.ca/jbarge/springinfo.html) and so are even the Defender 90 H/D springs. Should I go for the Defender springs or have someone a better alternative? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I don't think you will gain much as the Discovery's GVW (and therefore max rear axle loading) is similar to a 90 with HD suspension so I would expect the springs to be similar in capacity.

ChrisB Posted January 30, 2009 Share Posted January 30, 2009 I had NRC4304s on my disco for a while for the same reason, but had britpart ones which were ok for a little while, but then sagged quickly - but unevenly, leading to a list to starboard! Genuine ones were sensible money - might be worth a phone call. ISTR they were red/white striped. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSaint Posted January 30, 2009 Author Share Posted January 30, 2009 http://members.shaw.ca/jbarge/springinfo.html Now I hope the link work! Sorry! Yes, you are right the springs are red/white but according to the list above its only rated 170 Lbs/inch. Bearmach has the following springs avaible. How are they i quality? Do they last longer than a little while? BA 2102 Rear 90/Disco/RR 40mm 295 Lbs I8mm 445mm BA 2103 Rear 90/RR/Dis/Dis2 20mm 240 Lbs 17mm 413mm BA 2104 Front RR/Dis/Dis2 30mm 195 Lbs 16mm 394mm BA 2105 Rear Disco 0mm 194 Lbs 16mm 438mm BA 2106 Front RR/Disco 0mm 196 Lbs 16mm 368mm Im thinking of maybe fitting BA 2103 on rear and BA 2106 in front. But it will lift/raise the back with 20mm and the front stays original height. Is that a problem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
