Good day , this is me

A quick question. I will fit a new suspension to my 3A Td4. It have sport Shocks and Springs. Odrered a new sport shocks from LR parts, but thinking about springs.
I can use LR sport springs, but also Eibach and H&R kits are available.
Someone use one of those ? Worth or stick with LR tuned sport suspension ?

Wouldn't call LR "tuned" lol, Either Eibach or H&R will be good, but will be stiffer

Well, they put different shocks (stiffer) and lowering springs so they tune something. lol

I remember that one of guys here put Eibach to FL, but can't find who and where done that ...

Yep,
Td4 will be mainly road/motorway car - with little off road as I got 2km gravel/sand/mud/snow (depend of weather) road in forest to my house.
L-Series is for off road, so that one can be fast and low

you will get a harder ride if you lower it, in that gravel sand mud and snow you will be better of the height it is,

I got two of them, so if mud/snow will be to deep for it, i leave it and use second one

Are the Eibach and H&R springs shorter / stiffer than the LR sport springs or are they just an upgrade to the LR Standard springs?

I find the standard springs on the Sport Premium give a good ride on the road in corners etc..

I don't know . That's why i asking.

I got sport suspension in Td4, but it's old and handling is worse than my lifted L-series. So i will replace it, but maybe it's worth to fit a Eibach/H&R instead of LR ones...

Unlike you to use anything BUT LR parts on your freelanders!

I use it sometimes, for example L-series suspension is not LR, it's Monroe+Dobinsons

Can the sport models with the 235/50/18 tyres be fitted with 30mm spacers? Do the none sport models not have an arb fitted as standard?
