De carbon +2 for me . Since 2004 without any problem . No extended lines , trailing arms or extra bits fitted . Original springs used on 2" blocks and HD arb .

The other (and much cheaper...) option is to keep your original springs and shocks and put a lift kit on them.
You can do this for around +/- £100.

50mm spacers on springs, drop plate for shocks and jobs a good un.

Glyn Lewis do them:

I own already the Eibach Springs, Double Cardan propshaft, trailing and radius arms so those are settled.

The only question are the shocks and the bushes to be honest.


Shocks come with bushes.


@Keith see im the opposite have a +2 lift on my 110 with extended lines and +2 shocks. Standard radius/trailing arms

Went up a few crossaxling steep hill climbs and it tore the standard bushes to shreds damaging my rear diff in the process!!

So now have cranked arms and polybushes

yes yes 100% agree on the kit used . If your gonna start twisting axles and off-road on a lift then it’s gonna cost you
