Hello,
Thankyou for your inquiry
We have Part No's KRFR-13 (front) and KRRR-14 (rear) to raise your model
vehicle approximately 35mm from factory std height.
I got told via e-mail the same 30mm. I think they must be different specs to the old springs other forum members have  . Now i don't know what to do

I´ll most probably go for the Old Man Emu. I called the swedish distributor today and he told me that the standard spring will give +50 mm. Specification is OME 744 front and OME 746 rear. The price in Sweden is 4.600,- SEK incl. 25% VAT, which is 510,- EUR with todays exchange rate. It takes them about three weeks to get the springs. Their homepage is www.rindab.se

My experience is the same as grzsiul.
I have emailed King Springs for an explanation.

Chaps I have fitted uprated springs to my factory coil sprung D 3. I am not sure of the brand but the came form M and M Landrover in Worcester. They are blue in colour and achieve 40mm of lift. Think they were £110 a pair.

I have contacted MM 4X4 in Worcester and they have no D3 springs listed?
Can anybody post a definitive source for UK supplied D3 4cm replacement coil springs of any brand?
THanks

Tried their website earlier but they only list D1 and Range Rover Old Man Emu Coil springs. I have emailed them to get the part numbers and price

Just ordered Old Man emu springs from Chris here http://www.surreyoff-road.com/. Shipment due in next week from Aus. they give 50mm lift and was great price After doing some more research on King springs it seems they realy do only offer 30mm lift. I couldn't find out if their different spec from what they used to be (60mm) EDIT= Forum member D3Dan can also get these springs

Has anybody got any idea of likely labour cost (only) of having 4 coil springs swapped out by an independent Land Rover Garage?
