What started as a gearbox issue has basically turning into a mini rebuild. Plus i've got an angry gammon as a neighbour so I'm looking for any excuse to extend the amount of time my dilapidated rust box sits there ****ing him off.

All shocks are shot and springs are past there best. Renewing them all. Also taking the opportunity to remove the 2 inch left the previous owner put on it - do not know why people do that.

Terrafirma all terrain shocks all round. At the back standard height HD terrafirma coils - (i have a roll cage and roof rack so get a fair bit of roll when driving, plus its often laden with camping gear etc).

My question is for the front - terrafirma standard height springs are out of stock. My options are britpart HD front springs, standard britpart/allmakes front springs or LR branded front springs. Does anyone have experience with these? I'm happy to fit cheaper all make/britpart springs if they're decent, the LR branded ones aren't that expensive actually so don't mind spending the money if worth it

I have put Britpart HD coils all round, as I'm kitting it out as a camper and was the cheap option at the time and I'm not sure what weight I will be carrying. It may be because I've never had a decent set yet but I dont mind them.. I'm guessing from the above comments my opinion will change once I upgrade.

Armstrong dampers are OEM, if they were good enough at the factory dont see why they wont be when it comes to replace them.

The Armstrong's are what I use, have had other makes over the years but for general use the original type is fine and cheap enough to replace if damaged.
I have had my Ninety a long time.

Buy new Puma "take off" springs from Twisted's "surplus parts" dept and fit those.
A set of four is about £100, if they've got any left.
They are standard specification but give a slightly better ride quality.
You won't go wrong with those.

Britpart standard springs are fine. There's been plenty of threads about them and most members comment favourably about them.

Great website. So they take standard defenders and the bits they take off and upgrade they sell on?
