I have been all over Germany on autobahns doing over 170 at times on kings and car handled excellent

I am sure that increased load ratio on Old Emu coils would have pretty much the same effect on vehicle handling as factory coils are Censored if it comes to body rolling so you should be more than happy

cheers
Sounds good. Thank you for the reply.

It really wasn't a problem. I used draper coil spring compressors(3) stock no. 68614 which worked a treat. They an additional safety feature in the form of a clip which rotated and was fix in placed over the coil. This prevents them potentially flying off under tension and prevents them sliding sideways on the coil. At the stage depicted in the gallery picture the compressors have already done most of there work and have remained in place for final positioning and to fit the bolt through the bottom of the strut. Let me know if you intend tackling the task and need further guidance.


Just in case anybodys searches for this here's an update. I think the reason DIY spring compressors worked for Eirerover is because the springs only gave 30mm lift. I just found out the hard way that with Old Man Emu springs which give 50+mm lift it's impossible to compress the front springs even with 3 compressors. Ended up going in garage for propper press Thumbs Up

Lovells 2'' lift kit.

Hi, I have a LR3 discovery s with coil suspension.
I'm looking for information on this lift kit.

http://www.topgear.it/shop.php?act=zoom&am...covery%203

what do you think about price?

I wanted to know if anyone has ever fitted it up if anyone knows the quality of the Lovells suspension and if you can post the photos of the suspension mounting result.
Thank you.
