Thanks 1967jester

I spoke to Ben at Prospeed but he wasn't sure if they would fit a Range Rover Sport.

I'm convinced they will, as I thought that Discovery 4 and Late Rangie Sports had the same front and rear arms

What are the fixings made from on the guards, and do any other companies make them for a Disco 4? 2003 BMW M5- 5 Litres of V8 Optimax Slurping Goodness in Carbon Black

Never seen any offered elsewhere.
4 bolts, 2 brackets & guard to fix, bracket over the top of the arm, bolt through both. Will try & take photo in the morning & post Paul.

Front: 2 Bolts go through guard & arm

Rear: 4 Bolts through guard then through 2 plates which go over the arm to 'sandwich' it. 2 outer (towards wheel) 2 front

Can I ask, what's the benefit, is it to protect the bottom of the strut or to prevent getting "hung up" on rocks or stumps ? Altox GSM FBH controller thread

Think the design idea is to help smooth the path over obstructions & prevent damage to the vulnerable bits. I've never had issues when using them, or when i didn't have them on tbh Paul.

Thanks for the pics, I think im going to order some and give them a try. I like the idea of having a bit of protection on these. Belt and braces
