I could be wrong (please feel free to flame me if i am ) but that kit is off a rangie V8 and your disco is a tdi, i thought the spring rates were different for a classic and a disco? also the front springs need to be heavier for a tdi than a v8 as the v8 is a lighter engine? :?

I should say the chances are you are right as we dont know too much about this, it is the first lift we have done if it goes well my defender will be next on the list :D , it said suitable for discovery 2/300tdi, I guess if the springs need to be changed that wont be too much of an issue, if that is the case would it be just the springs or the rest of the kit aswell, we have a mojor shopping list for kit for this motor any way so if it is no good it could just go back on e-bay

i think the dampers and the rest of the kit will be fine but i do remember enquiring about kits for my V8 disco and was told the front springs were different due to the engine weight, V8 or tdi, and the rears on a rangie were different due to the rangie having the Boge leveller thing on the rear and the rangie body being a different weight to the disco

Neal.
If you recal, my springs went onto my Tdi from my V8 with no problems.
They feel the same on and off the road.
