another suspension question

[matstrooper]

hi all im just about to buy some lift springs already got explorer pro comp extended shocks ive been looking  britpart ones bearmach ones if people can leave there comments it would be appreciated.

The only significant difference between the 2 makes I have come across is that bearmach also do soft+long off road springs as well heavy duty (HD) lift springs, where as britparts yellow springs are all relatively HD.

I have used britparts yellows for over a year with no problems and very satisfied with their performace especially as the 4x4 they are on still gets used for towing 3.5ton trailers so soft/long springs would have been a bad choice.

Depends what you want out of the vehicle . . . . flexible suspension for smoothness and keeping the tyres on the ground or stiffer suspension for load carrying/towing.

You should be able to compramise between a hard crashy ride and good handling if the shocks are properly valved up.

I normally like Pro-Comp, though I've also used DeCarbon succesfully but on the LSE I find PRroComp very crashy.

I looked into Koni that RPI recomend as they are valved heavier on the rebound to avoid the problem, but at £168 a pair I'm leaving those in the shop.

i ran the britpart yellows at first they were pretty harsh but suppled up over about a year

i know run with britpart heavy duty standard heright on 20mm spacers with procomps, works really well off road and on road is much improved being lower
