Hi markyb i had my shocks and springs fitted 2 days ago. I spent a long time looking and decided to go with terrafirma heavy duty medium load. and bought from craddocks for 249.00. Was unsure if id ruin ride comfort but it 100% improvement. Road handling and steering in and out of rounabouts is a dream no body roll and holds firmly. Also look the bollocks with silver and blue. They have my recomondation

Terrafirma +2 shocks on mine as well but just running with RRC Police spec HD springs so only around a 1" lift.

Also just fitted a southdown snorkel to my 300tdi with ABS. Excellent quality, perfect fit and I think it was only £140 on ebay. Highly recommended.

Terrafirma +2 inch HD springs front and rear with terrafirma big bore shocks. Improved road holding and handling. Managed to get a secondhand snorkel.

Stu, did you have your 265/70s on your standard alloys with just your +1" springs ?

I've got +1" springs on already but not yet fitted my 1" spacers under the spring seats. I'm still deciding between 265/70s and 235/85s and thinking I might be able to get away without the spacers.
