They just announced their OME BP 51 suspension kit for the Defender 110 and 130. I am curious about the price!

Well that's a bizarre coincidence, I was just looking at these.

I don't see them listed on OME's site for the Defender though, so thought they didn't do it for the Defender.


The prices for Japanese vehicles seem 'high', like about 5 times that of the regular shocks. Not sure I want to stretch that far, the regular ones seem pretty reasonable. Its just a pity they are yellow... Whistle 2005 Td5 90 XS

Seems strange after 4 years and two years after production stopped, they decide to release a Defender version? James

Along with 2 specifically tuned front BP-51 shock absorbers, the front fit kit includes a replacement front shock turret, front sway spacers, front bump stop spacers and reservoir mount assembly.


Still expensive but I hear good things from AUS about them. Also can be found on Fb, Ytube, Insta & Twitter @4WDSouthwest

If it was that price for a pair, I might just about see the value proposition. But £2000 just for a set of 4 shocks for a Land Rover seems ludicrous to me. 2005 Td5 90 XS

I couldn’t fit a set of those and then watch a winter of British road salt do it’s worst on all that shiny aluminium. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

It's more than that a corner for decent coil overs and triple bypass! Shocked Cheers

£500 fronts. £500 for the rears. Including all brackets and mounting hardware so not too bad but still pricey. You'd pay that for Bilstein 7100s or Fox

Are you sure its not just for one shock only? The page says at the bottom:

"Please note Shock absorbers are supplied individually"

which makes me think you need 2 at the front and 2 at the back to get to £2k, before adding springs? 2005 Td5 90 XS
