Good Day


I’m considering using Terrafirma’s light load springs on my 110. These would allow me to continue having the same 2 inch lift I currently have but with a less harsh ride. (I’m aware that these might not maintain the 2 inches due to the lower spring rate).
However I’m concerned that these might be too soft/spongy or sag prematurely. Terrafirma recommends this configuration for unladen 110s where the driver is looking for a comfortable ride. I will not be fitting any equipment or accessories, hauling around any excess weight nor will I be towing.

The spring rates are:
TERRAFIRMA Front pair TF014
Load 0-50kg Rate – 200lbs/in

TERRAFIRMA Rear pair TF010
Load 150kg Rate – 270lbs/in

I’m not hearing or seeing much reviews on this spring set. Anyone here uses them, if so will you recommend them?

I'm not too sure how much my comment will assist with the actual product however my land rover has heavy duty springs on ( put on by previous owner).
When there is no weight in the vehicle every bump is bone shaking.
When it has a load the ride is brilliant.
I don't know what the load rating is for mine but if you don't intend carrying stuff I would go for the smoother ride.

I have the medium duty Terrafirma set on my 90 and that's a pretty harsh ride but has very little body roll which is why I went for them. I got used to the ride. Sort of wish I went for the light duty ones though.

I've got light duty springs on my 90 and it drives great and corners well with little roll, I also run it on 35 x 1250 x 15 cooper stt tyres
