replacing springs...

Hi

Going to replace the old sagging springs on the disco. Don't want lifted springs. What is the part numbers for standard springs. What do people recommend? Is it possible to get Heavy duty ones?

Cheers

Yes they are a good price!

I wonder what these heavy duty springs they are selling are rated at. I wonder if they are 150lb/in NRC2119 Green and 178lb/in NRC8477 Green/Pink

I doubt its those springs if they being sold as disco heavy duty as green stripe are standard disco TDi front (maybe HD for a V8 though) and Green/Pink stipe are LHD RRC rears which are progressive rate starting at about 120lb/in making them softer (also longer) than standard disco progressive springs.


From what I can gather a set of standard 90 springs will provide a moderate rate increase for a disco TDi

Yes green are HD for a V8 and standard for a TDi.  On LHD market RRC the rear LHS spring was uprated above the RHS like he says, a pair of these would give you an uprated RRC but I suspect not enough for the heavier Disco.
