My disco is sagging on one side, by about 2 inches at the front. It always has, and I knew it when I bought it. Looking to replace the front springs, shocks, steering damper, Delphi ball joints and anything else that seems worn.

I dont want to lift the vehicle in any way, so can anyone recommend a good set of springs. I really dont want Britpart.

Was looking at OME but they only seem to do a 40mm lift version.

I did this on mine last year. Used standard springs (for me the recommended was REB000330) with Bilsteins (also the steering damper).
Very satisfied with the result.

Sorry but genuine is your best bet with standard heights. Shocks are a bit of a minefield but all i can say is britpart super gaz are a hard ride.

Sorry for missunderstanding, I am not native english speaker
Originally I had 2" lift by using britpart set. So I can not compare to that (shocks were out anyway). First I installed KYB springs and Monroe shocks and found them too soft and one side of my car was a bit down (about 1" compared to other). The KYB was also the standard one but for pre-facelift model so I have changed them to the correct one which together with Bilsteins give much better feeling and also the car sits higher and even.
