Lowering 90

If I lower my 90 with a set of springs/shocks/arb , Do I need to check prop angles or anything else under the car after install?

Depends how low you go. Normally it’s -2” and you done need to do anything else, but it will obviously affect articulation and off road ability.

2012 Defender 90 Puma 2.2 CSW Santorini Black

For my older 90, I always wanted approx 1" lower at the back only. I almost always drove it unladed.
My newer acquisition had a 1" lift at the front only, and I really like how level it sits.
I think I will still go for the 1" lower at the back only once the restoration is complete. Makes it easier for me getting in and out

This is probably better, parked on flat ground.

No change to props.. (the rear is custom length though due to the gearbox being longer)

I also lowered Mrs G’s

Thanks for uploading these pics Greeni, really helpful. I'm looking at 1" lower for mine. Just wondering which springs to go for

Love them both, is Mrs G's also a 1" drop?
