Aragorn Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 Your wanting to know what parts from the disco will fit your 90? Engine and wheels will go. The lift kit may or may not work, Disco weighs a lot more than the defender, but has much softer springing as standard, so you'd need to check the spring rates out before you go changing them. Axles are useful, gets you disk brakes on the rear and front could be a spare. Steering box might be useful as a spare or upgrade if your 90 doesnt have PAS. Transmission wont fit, but the transfer box could be fitted to improve fuel economy and lower RPM's in gear for quieter motorway driving. Front prop might be the same length as a spare.
