2007 Defender 90 Puma 2.4 HT Stornoway Grey

Replacing F+R Springs 90 CSW

I’ve decided to renew the suspension on my 2009 90 CSW and have bought 4 new springs, but think I’ve made a hasty choice.

I’ve bought NRC9446/7/8/9 which although seem correct for a 90, not sure are suitable for a Puma CSW.

I don’t tow and no winches fitted, never carry rear passengers.

Any guidance appreciated before I go ahead and fit them (or send them back).

Thanks

CSW have progressive springs at the rear, so they are soft when unladen, and get harder when loaded.

Having said that, I installed NRC2119 on the rear (I added isolators as well) and there was a small improvement in ride. However it is sitting half an inch lower at the back.

Thanks - I’m also planning on fitting isolators (ANR2938) top & bottom of all four springs, so hopefully together with the new genuine shocks, it’ll create a quiet & smooth ride.
