2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 SW Chawton White

D1 or RRC front springs

I haven't had a chace to drive none of those models but I reckon they are not has harsh as a Defender.
Anybody has experimented to fit softer springs on a Defender. I'm not after those comfort springs with 1" drop. I'm aware of stability issues that may arise. Thx Puma 110" SW

just done my 90 td5 it had hd springs and terraferma(terrible) shocks on it just before i bought it don't know why do it if your not towing or carrying a ton of weight any way wanted a more comfortable ride than standed (wife got a bad back and would not go in it) so did some research and these are the springs to use for normal ride hight

for front use nrc2119 rated150lbs used on RR front/disco

for rear use nrc8044 rated155/215lbs used onD110 front disco rear

normal spring rates are 175 fronts 225 rears also used isolators
anr2938 top and bottom on rears
rbc100111 for front also a retaining ring for damper turret
this will even the normal defender back down by about 8mm

now for the ride excellent

wife even likes the idea of touring Scotland god knows why i put up with it for two years got the springs etc from paddocks only around the corner from me .cost £70 for springs and about £25 for isolators

ps i had to use new shock but went for good brand standed one ride is as i said brilliant
