Coil Springs Advice

[SolihullBeast]

After Many topics and a lot of thought I have decided to remove my 2 inch lift on my discovery 200tdi, as it will essentially be used on the road for 80% time now. And I am considering the following options

1. Refitting the old springs(factory fitted genuine land rover, 1993)

2. Fitting new pattern part springs

3. Fitting brand new genuine land rover springs

I have a few questions; is the case that older springs sag badly on discovery's as they are heavy?

and I have heard that non-genuine springs begin to sag quite quickly?

Is it worth getting new genuine springs for the sake of handling? Is there a noticeable difference?

Which options would people recommend?

Additionally I will be removing 4 Heavy duty +2" terrafirma coil springs, do these have a second hand value? they have only been fitted to the vehicle for half a year, so are not particularly old, or do they depreciate as fast as the vehicle!?

I hope this is not a labored topic, I did search the forum and have spoken to a few people but some more input would be great

Cheers

Sam

Just had a look at these

any thoughts?

I have heard people refer to britpart as "****part"! should I be careful?

Personally - I wouldn't take the risk of using those. I've fitted Bearmach springs many times and have no problems at all with them.

Genuine springs with Bilstein or other good quality gas pressurised dampers.

You should get good money for your Terra Firma gear. Stick it in the classifieds forum.
