Well, after consulting with many, more experienced, Discovery owners I made the decision to renew the springs and shocks on Charity at the weekend.
I've always been impressed with how far I can take her with the original set up ( i think the shocks might even have been 15 years old by the state of em :lol: ) so I plumped for standard height with the new ones too.
I went for heavy duty front and rear springs along with monroe gas shocks from Paddocks for £170.00 incl vat and delivery. I had previously fitted RRC heavy duty rear springs thinking they would be the same. The Discovery heavy duty ones (ANR4491) are considerably thicker and.......
WHAT A DIFFERENCE :!: :!:
She sits at least 1" higher, the ride is nice and firm and she even goes round corners without making my buttocks ache :lol: Just need to see how things perform off road at Whaddon next weekend :twisted:
Big thanks again go to Dr Neil and Stanton Boy who helped me do the job. It would have been a nightmare without their expertise :D (we had to cut a couple of the old shocks off in the end)
