Yes.
The suspension on the 2006 Sport is standard ride hight, with stiffer springs and shocks.

Or seek out an aftermarket company specialising in suspension, springs and dampers, stiffer springs probably need adjustable dampers!

I fitted replacement springs made by Dobinson's in Australia. Slightly stronger and a little taller too. But rides comfortably.

It's interesting that they list the same front spring for the 1.8 and L series engine. The L weights twice as much as the K series lump. In fact if you fitted standard 1.8 springs to an L engined Freelander, the front would drop by 30mm or so.I fitted replacement springs made by Robinson's in Australia. Slightly stronger and a little taller too. But rides comfortably.

Nope, 30 mm lower than standard and stiffer. Also shocks are shorter than standard.
Yup, use dobinsons for two years, now replaced for custom ones as car is to heavy for it. Those give a nice lift, and possibility of using larger wheels
06 onwards FL1 Sport has standard hight springs but stiffer. Pre 06 were -30mm

So there is no parts for those . Sports springs and shocks got only one part number and starting from VIN 4A to end.
Standard springs are from 1A to 5A99999 and for 6A to end. - That could be the difference (maybe those are stiffer), but all of them are marked 'Less sports tuned suspension' . Or label on car "sport" is not equal for sport tuned suspension.
LR got only one sport spec (-30) for facelift as I see.

That's interesting white/orange from 6A Vin are listed as non sport suspension.
Well, probably in 06 "sport" spec is different for some reason,
My mistake
