Dampers for lowered springs aren't normally any different other than being shorter. If you lower the vehicle too much with standard dampers, there is a risk the dampers will bottom out on full bump. But that's on normal road cars, given the Defenders standard axle articulation it shouldn't be an issue with standard dampers.
You could always remove the roof and just fold the screen down for going into the garage. |

Cheers Grafty. Do you have the Bilstein B6 fitted? Also have you also upgraded the anti roll bars? |

Thanks RockJaw
Yeah Bilstein B6 dampers with standard front anti roll bar on superpro bushes and a 1inch rear bar on custom solid self lubricating bushes. It handles rather well for a defender 2002 90 Td5 Station Wagon 1990 Vogue SE Triumph Tiger Explorer 1200 Td5 90 Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic50767.html Tdi 110 Thread https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic69562.html RRC Thread http://www.defender2.net/forum/topic54492.html Instagram http://www.instagram.com/george_grafton |
