@Clarky68 , you haven't said what it is you're wanting to achieve with a lowered drive/ride height? Do confirm, we may be able to help with settings.

+ what are the spring ratings at 3.5cm lower/how many coils? Have the lowered springs just been produced [read...cut] with same rating as std spring but with 1x coil less?

Yes it has eight coils their not new out been around a while, I want to be able to put it in the garage without taking pressure out the Tyres and it’s use more on road than off so more road spec than off road it’s only used off road when I go shooting!

Okay, other option would be to keep std ride height and change support beam and door to garage...this may sound like a mass of work but really it isn't. Then you can keep std ride height, no faffing, no clashing, no eating suspension bushes, no harsh ride.

Or do as an acquaintance did for his VW Campervan...he lowered the front access to garage concrete floor [tyre track width and a bit only] for the first 1/4 - 1/3 length only. This enabled him to drive straight in

ps I'm sure there's a video on YT for this...

Britpart sell 1" lowering springs, there was a 90 with them fitted at my local Land Rover garage, it looked pretty good tbh, (it was a black one with black wheels) although it's not something l would fit.
