Suspension/Ride Upgrade for my 90
I’m thinking about improving the road performance by upgrading the suspension and fitting some 18” wheels and decent tyres, has anyone used J E Engineering Koni Performance Suspension kit?

Koni are thought of highly so I've heard. Can't comment on what you suggested but Bilstein is another option to consider.
Chris @ CSK Land Rovers could perhaps offer you a solution.

I have bilstein dampers and alives lowering springs, definatley improves road manners and gives the car a mean stance especially with 18's and 285 tyres it's actually really fun to corner hard in

I also have 18" rims with 2" lowered suspension aided by bilstein adjustable's - looks amazing (I think) & still works well off road, doesn't handle as well as, say, a 911 Embarassed but is surprisingly good Very Happy Urban truck defender 90
