suspension setup for my 300 TDI
ok lads, looks like my Landrover has got a knackered rear damper, So I am going to replace the full works.
I am using it for motorway mileage really, my dads got terreferma stuff on, but I think kept the OEM springs.
I was going to fit comfort springs with Terreferma Dampers and install a front Anti roll bar,
Would it be too stiff? Any other Ideas? My dads is used to tow a caravan, mine may only tow once in a blue moon. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

On the TD5 90 Hard top we run standard LR defender 90 springs on the front with LR police spec range rover springs on the rear, standard anti roll bars, with Boge shox all round.
Won't break the bank and makes a big difference to the ride of a 90 as its empty most of the time, but i wouldn't recommend this set up for towing.

Have always found the Terrafirma shox a tad too hard Whistle

cheers nidge, I did go for my dads setup in the end, but I will be fitting anti roll bars. ( well front one until I find someone to weld the rear plates on)
I have also bought poly bushes too, so when I swop the dampers and springs over, those are changed too. My dad ended up having to swop his to poly bushes. Defender TD5 90 ---/--- Peugeot 306 HDI hatch back

It depends what you want to do with your 90. This is my td5:

So it's a bit heavier and I use it heavy off-road. The standard springs are to light for me so I have now rear springs 275lbs/inch? front and 350 lbs/inch rear. Roel
