Mo Murphy Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 That actually depends on what a Terrafirma Mega Sport Kit actually is, Tony ? Can you post a link ? Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotts90 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I had a Google for it. Comes in various flavours with 9" and 11" travel shocks with the full monty turrets and reservoir equipped shocks. I've got the 2" lift kit on mine, no complaints apart from the springs could do with some thicker powder coat. When it goes I'll be going for some old man emu stuff though.

Anderzander Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I'd recommend talking to Gwyn Lewis - you can get a great set up with OME shocks and his challenge suspension for less than that price. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Wow, if you really want that sort of thing, talk to Devon 4x4 and go with their King suspension. It is pricey, but proven. That kit is a rip off, frankly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Oh god, if you're looking at spending that, get on the phone to D44 for their king stuff. Or Gwn Lewis is you want to save some cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mo Murphy Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 I think you're money would be better spent on a couple of Ashlockers to be honest. No one will see them but they'll be more effective. HTH Mo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dangerous doug Posted September 19, 2015 Share Posted September 19, 2015 Look at the Devon 4x4 kit before you commit to that. I just fitted one with adrenaline 4x4 arms and I'm very happy with it and as always with D44 it fit first time and the aftercare is top notch if you have a problem.

Lewis Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Wow! That is very costly. With careful selection of parts you will get the same level of suspension performance for far less £. As others have said Gwyn Lewis kit is a great, well proven, strong reliable kit I'm with Mo though, the best money you can spend on a Land Rover to improve off road performance is a rear locking differential. For the cost of that suspension kit you could buy a built ashlocker for the rear, plus shafts and flanges all round and cv's for the front! I know which I'd rather have Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyker Posted September 20, 2015 Author Share Posted September 20, 2015 thanks for all the replies, I currently have lockers and what an improvement they make. i have been looking at the king set up but from talking to a friend with the same kit he has had to buy a lot other bits and pieces on top to make the kit work the best. i have been looking at other kits at D44 but i am after a set that has separate reservoir shocks. has anybody got a Fox set up on theres?

Anderzander Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 Can I ask why you want separate reservoir shocks ? Do you anticipate working them hard enough to require the extra cooling ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anderzander Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Here's a thread from a little while ago that may help understand my question about why remote reservoir .... http://forums.lr4x4.com/index.php?showtopic=91946&view=&hl=&fromsearch=1 I had them on motorbikes and they made a difference - but only at speeds that would seem irrelevant to most Land Rover applications.

RedLineMike Posted September 23, 2015 Share Posted September 23, 2015 i have the fox bolt on reservoir shocks on my 110, cant complain as they seem to work well, cant get them as hot as the shocks on the other car but still get some heat into them, the 110 is heavy when its fully loaded & they are distinct improvement over the Koni raid shocks that were fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a mate who might be interested in selling his complete King D44 setup, I could inquire if your interested?

PacificRovers Posted March 5, 2016 Share Posted March 5, 2016 I have a mate who might be interested in selling his complete King D44 setup, I could inquire if your interested? I have to add that it is located in Denmark though - I would be very interested if your friend in Denmark still has the used kit for sale. PM sent. Another idea for you, request to purchase the TF Mega sport kit, but without the Mega Sport reservoir shocks, and then you can but you're own, king or Fox shocks. I see what you're aiming for, It does seem to be a rather complete, easy kit, and I know people are saying "expensive" but it's not that bad imo, especially if you ditch those shocks we know nothing about.... I know TF regular shock build quality are no match for OME etc, so I would be careful.. I'm sure you could keep the hydro bump stops though.
