Title: New Equipment
Post by: drum on October 08, 2005, 10:58:09

I'm planning on getting new radius arms and rear arms, extended bump stops, longer brake hoses, cones and lowered damper mounts\shortened turrets. etc For the 110. Basically it's all the things I should have done when I lifted the vehicle and never quite got done.

However I rather fancy fitting twin dampers front and back, while Ive got it all apart. Are there any standard kits around that I could get at the same time?

Dave.

Why not fit longer dampers, I like the ProComp ES9000s and they have a lifetime warranty if yo buy them from Explorer UK.

I have longer decarbons already, I'm hoping that twin shockers may limit the sway on road use.

I fitted twin rear shocks on the Disco just before Belgium. I put an article in the Workshop (http://members.mud-club.com/library/?articleid=21) section on here.  :wink:

For offroad you can't beat it but they are a wee bit stiff onroad, ie you go over a road hump and the rear end doesn't move when you come off the other side, but we're getting used to it now! :D
I don't think I would like the onroad ride with twin shocks on the front as well.

For cornering, yes it has made it a little stiffer than having ARBs fitted.

Sounds like it may be not what I want then. The bit can already be a bit harsh at times. So I don't want it much harshers, just maybe reuce the body roll if I can.
