Davecrx Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Hi This is my first post and to be honest in a way i'm new to land rovers. So I have a 200tdi disco which at this moment in time is standard. I will be using it mainly on the roads but with blasts down woodland tracks and ex-army land. I wont be doing any rock climbing, sailing or mucking around in deep mud in it. What i would like some info on it what suspension setup to have. I've got in mind a 1" drop on the springs, uprated shocks, install front and rear anti-roll bars, incress the track by spacers or wider wheels, nd my be in the future poly-bush the lot. The more info the better and some idea as to where i could find parts would be great. Thanks for your help Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu2985 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 Your suspension if still original is probably shot and sagging right now which will make it wallow - same with your bushes If you dont want a suspension lift then just replace springs and shocks with new standard size ones but better quality - monroe adventurer shocks are good. Anti roll bars will help on road but limit articulation off roading (not that mine have ever got in the way off roading) Buy a new bush kit find a friendly garage who is short of work with a press and it will save you 2 days of spanner work under your motor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking of using standard hight springs but with a higher spring rate to give it a firmer ride. As for articulation i'm not going to need the large amounts of movement so the fitting of anti-roll bars should be fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 i would go for original springs plus exchange the bushes anyways, you will notice a huge difference. personally i think the original setup is totally ok for motorway driving, took my 300tdi up north for about 400km(motorway only) Travelling safe at about 120 km/h was no problem at all.
