I've got a 90 defender pick up - I own it purely because I want a landy in my life and it shares its life with 4 other toys. I decided that whenever it needed anything replacing, I would use the cheapest standard parts, to keep costs down. It's a rough looking ex-farm truck with not much going for it and the suspension is in a poor state (pitting on the shock rods and the shock casings have rusted away. Thinking it won't get through the next MOT, I thought I'd replace the shocks and springs.
Now as the car will need this doing on all 4 corners, should I go for the cheapest Paddocks do, heavy duty, or the yellow gaz kit they do with 4 HD springs and shocks? (all britpart I think?). I don't want lift kits as I don't really go off road. I use the vehicle for transporting stuff and towing my other toys when they break down. Anmy feedback very welcome.
