I will look for the address and phone to the bloke I got my KingSprings from and as far as i remember he is lots of time in Belgium
besides check Matzker website they got cool hard core lift setup but quite pricey
some other peeps went for OldMan Emu but can not remember dealer they got the coils from
cheers

Thanks for youre reply Grzesiul,
Had a look on the websites from Matzker and Kingsprings.
Matzker did not made a lot of sense to me, that is, i couldn't find a lift kit for coilsprings, maybe because the language barrier.
On the Kingspring website there is only the leafsprings for Landrover shown.
I also had a look on the Lovells website and there distributors and found a few, one in Poland website in Polish, hmm, problem.
One in Switzerland, website under construction, no good, and one in Italy, website in in Italien.
Lovells was used by forum member Simon pl, i have pm'd him but i think he is enjoying his nice car.
I guess the next best thing to do is send them all a email and see what i get back from them.
Thanx again, Ruud Happy are those who dream dreams and are willing to pay the price to see them come true.

Hi Disco Duck, thanks for youre reply
Quit an interresting read indeed!
Seems that there is not a lot of choice in 2" lifts anymore.
Wonder why Kings stopped making the 60 mm lift coils? i couldn't find any coils for D3 on there website for that matter!
Where did you got youre Old mans from? you like them?

Hi Grzesiul,
Had another look at the Matzker website, very nice and hard core but, a little bit to much for what i am looking for.
They make quit a bit of nice bits.
I was wondering when you got youre Kings as it appears the 60 mm lift kit is not available anymore?

Hi Ruud,
you could give ET in Coevorden a call. They had a suspension-modified D3 a couple of years ago and they modded it themselves.

Thanx again, Ruud
Got them from here http://www.surreyoff-road.com/ They state thay give 50 mil lift in reality it's 54mil. The springs are brilliant the car is much better on and off road. They do a stiffer version if you have a lot of accesories fitted such as winch etc. I went for the normal versions and their great off road 2011/2012 King spring catalogue here they still do the springs look under "Rover" http://www.kingsprings.com.au/catalogue/ki...alogue.pdf. Get in touch with the European distributer if you want them or conatct D3 Dan on here he can get them EDIT= have sent you e mail adress of Pat Ryder who deals with European inports she is in France

Hi guys, thanks for you're replies.
@wvlenthe, you remember what make they have used back then?
@gazellio, the springs you used gave a 40 mm lift right? did you just got the springs or did you changed you're dampers as well?
@disco duck, 50 mm (or more) is actually what i am looking for so that would be great.
I found the Kings for D3 now, i stopped searching when i didn't find anything at "L" , it doesn't say how much the lift is though.
Did you just changed the springs or dampers as well?
Got you're PM, thanks.
I am gonna send some emails to various suppliers now, see what comes up.

Thanx again, Ruud
In Australia now where OME and King Springs are made a 50mm lift does not require an engineering certificate, over 50 and it gets expensive to stay legal.
For Nissan Patrols and Toyota Landcruisers you can buy 150mm lift kits off the shelf! With choices of 50, 75, 100, 125 also available. Many just use these for off road use only but they can be certified for road use.
The government is also toying with a national regulation which may in fact include a Slalom course test!
It has been off and on for a couple of years with much protest from 4wd groups. 2005 TDV6 HSE Silver, LLAMS Height Controller, Tinted Glass, Onroad - 19" GG AT's, Offroad - 18" 275/65 MT, Traxside Dual Battery kit, Rasta Protection Plate, Alpine Roof, BAS Remap, ARB Air Compressor, eDiff Custom Drawer and storage unit -http://www.box.com/s/jem0ilac3cner2mexq64 UHF CB, 4x4 Intellegence RWC, 120ltr Long range tank, Rock Sliders and Compressor protection plate Beanie grill, De Tango.
