hi, just fitted a set of GB parabolic springs to my SWB.

why didn't I do this before>???

and they are helpful people...............

V8jon · Feb 20, 2011

Mine have been on for about 7 years now and still as good as when i got them,you've made a good choice

stratie · Feb 20, 2011

Whats the price of them these days...i remember when they were about £200 for a set, have they gone up in price?

I will be rebuilding my Series Landy this year. Can you explain the real benefits of fitting parabolics as I probably wont be using it off road...much.Thanks.

Bought mine from GB Springs about 6months ago (SWB Series 3) and they were £215 including VAT and Delivery - Can't praise them enough - great product, handed to suit weight distribution, friendly service, know what they'tre talking about and ultra quick delivery (3 Days from day of order)

So what are they like on the road? What shocks did you use?

Thinking of buying some from GB or Rocky hence the question.

OZAWOZA · Feb 20, 2011

Find mine excellent on the road, but this is my first Landy and the original leaf springs were totally shot - therefore not really a fair comparison.

As for dampers I used Pro Comp 3000 with a +2" for mine and seem to work really well together

OZAWOZA · Feb 20, 2011

Only concern I had with Rocky Mountain springs when I was looking at mine was that they were not handed to suit the unequal weight distribution of a Landy - Having said that I have heard good things about them, and when I spoke to the guy from RM he certainly seemed to know what he was talking about - but for value for money I think you will struggle to beat GB Springs (nice colour too!)

On road you'll notice a big difference, not just a smoother ride but it will brake better,steer better and handle a lot better.

Thanks for the info but someone commented on another thread that fitting these to a series was pointless but there really are benefits then.

mine were £230 delivered i think..
actually it does it a bit high on the drivers side but what a ride......

my dad had them on his old 2a, he swore by them and recondmended them to everyone with a series,

Just about to fit a set to a S3 Swb - do I need castor angle plates?

Blackburn · Jan 2, 2020

I have Chris Perfect Parabolics and extra height caused issue with front propshaft over extending.
Originally cured by putting longer prop on but now have castor plates fitted and no issue with standard propshaft.
Many other people have fitted GB springs with no issues.

Landrover77 · Jan 3, 2020

Are GB and Chris perfect the same?

Blackburn · Jan 3, 2020

Chris Perfect went out of business about 13 years ago.
But he sold good quality parabolics made to his specification was his claim.
