Try behind any LR dealer. They have to put those rejected cars somewhere Wink Laughing

I don't think they have any rejected cars here? It's very difficult to prove a car is unfit for purpose under our consumer laws.

Whilst I can't help you locate parts, I am interested as to why you need bits? are you modifying your car in some way?

Remotely = Manually? Like the old 'height adjustable towing' type shocks they used to fit to Toranas and the like?

Did you want to be able to change your ride height, or just keep the car level when loaded?

Are the suspension mounting points the same between a coiler and an air suspension model?

For all of your trouble it must have been easier to tick the air suspension option.

Good luck anyway.

All sound toooooo complicated!

Would stick in a smilie here to help my point but my PC doesn't let me. Never mind. I'd post a picture of my dogs as cute puppies but I can not figure out how.

Sad or what!

the ride is fairly twitchy (the car seems to pitch on the coils) and i need to be able to get the car higher off the ground when off road. the rear exhausts, where they run under the drive shafts, have very little ground clearance

Norto, any progress on this? I am considering doing something similar, though I enjoy my ride quality, I just desperately need more ground clearance.
