    Improving shocks and springs

    Price i always follow the rule of buy cheap buy twice, so i dont mind spending on a good set. Do terrafirma do standard dampers/shocks or are the all for raised spings?

    Improving shocks and springs

    Not sure how old they are, the vehicle is 1999 but im sure they have been replaced in the past before i got it, I dont carry much weight in it really only very occasionally will i have it heavily loaded. The only reason im looking into replacing/upgrading is because i had a shock fail/break...

    Cheers for the replys, with the one that opens with the rear doors from paddocks thats shown in the above 2 pics is it a case of re using my existing wheel carrier on the door and cutting the support bolts off and using that as a plate to support the new carrier to? If that makes sense

Paddocks sell one for £85 and on the other end of the scale there is the mantec one at around £200. obviously i would like to pay the cheaper price but are they made to a poor quality that i will need to replace it in a couple of years.

    How much to spend on a 90?!

    As above, at first my budget was the same as yours, but found i needed to save a little more, i ended up pushing my budget to 4k and had £1000 to spend on it. I ended up spending all of it and a little more to get something that was solid! (hopefully) The toys will have to come at a later date!
