No, no, no, he ruinses it. Precious!

Some of us actually prefer to use our Land Rovers for the purposes they are / were intended. If I ever get the urge to lower my 90's suspension, bung low profile tyres and led running lights on it and paint things that should black gloss white (plus a subwoofer the size of an extra large suitcase) then please.... please..... just shoot me!

Sorry Chris (Killer) but like Pam say's lifted does it for me not lowered Thumbs Up Although gloss black bits fit nicer than standard matt LR on many bits IMHO. Errrr, Subwoofer I am making no comment on this one as mine isn't huge but is FAR from small too especially output Whistle

Pam - Glad to hear that the springs are going well. I am quite happy with the ones I have currently which are Britpart surprisingly and the ride quality is great in every respect. My annoyance is though that the Yellow (not keen on this anyway) Powder coat is giving way a lot and is starting to allow the springs to rust and on top of that look awful at the same time. Shame they can't be blasted and re powder coated but that is easier said than done!

I was very tempted to lower mine and i was very surprised when my wife said NOOOOOO - keep it standard height looks much better. Even if she has to 'climb' in.

ps - Alpine sub woofer is a must Neutral BM52

Some us didn't see so you'll have to explain Whistle And I thought this was a thread about springs Off Topic

Another issue I have is that the springs I currently have were fitted by the previous owner so I don't know what weight rating they are or indeed if they are lifted. As far as I can guess they are 2" lift and Britpart (Yellow coating tells all really). Soooo anyone got a +2 lift Britpart spring fitted on a 90 that they could measure for me in situ Question ____\We|Will|Win/___
