leon_81 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 A friend of mine bought a set of what were supposed to be 2 inch lift springs for his Disco 1 from a boot sale We got round to fitting them and it turned out that they either weren't for a Disco, or weren't 2 inch lift springs. As far as I can remember, the front lifted 3-4 inches and the rear about 1-1.5 inches. He's since been and bought a new set of springs - so he's happy, but has a set of springs laying about that he can't do anything with... So is there a way of working out what they really are so he can see if they are of any use to anyone? All I can tell you is that they are blue and the ones he was told were the front ones are thicker coils (I assume due to weight of the front vs rear) I can get him to measure them if it will be of any help?

Bowie69 Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Sounds like you had them back to front TBH, the rear ones are thicker coils for Disco/Range Rover, even on a standard truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off Road Toad Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 They sound like Bearmach springs, But it sounds like you have them the wrong way round! the thicker springs should go to the rear which probably explains your ride hight issues.

leon_81 Posted September 27, 2010 Author Share Posted September 27, 2010 oops! he literally took what the guy said as correct! i think he'd like to find out for suere if he can though before trying to sell them incase someone else ends up with problems and comes back to him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcwcooper Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 To find out what they are you need to know the thickness of the bar on the coil and it's free length, then you can compare them with other makes. Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axlechorus Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Blue is normally BM whilst Yellow is commonly our favouite suppliers of quality parts for land rovers or OME which is a bit of a contrast I would take the spec of the spring as above and mail BM to see if they get back, or take those details and measure a few at a local BM stockist.
