Might be able to find it cheaper if you research it some but you wont find a better place for customer service and business ethics.

EE also will give you a matched set, last I checked which is very cool.

Got mine from Pangea Expeditions (www.pangaea-expeditions.com). At the time, they had the best price and the service/advice was excellent.

In my opinion, British Pacific is the best and cheapest by far. They charge only $58.05 per spring for a set of 4!!! I got mine in 3 days! (L.A to Chicago). Expedition Exchange charges $70.00 for the same springs.

I paid $60 each for shocks and springs, and shipping was only $44 for 4 springs and 4 shocks. They mainly deal in jeep stuff, but they will drop ship anything from arb/ome.

Great customer service as well.

if you want to be a total cheap bastard, be sure to buy them in a state different from your's so you dont get sales taxed. the trick is to have them close enough to you and parts in stock so you don't have to wait or pay too much shipping.

then you can line your pockets with the money you save.

Don't nickel and dime yourself here. I guess that you are looking for a setup for your RR. If so then the matched set may not be a real issue for you. But if you have a D1 it would be and EE is the only place to offer this as far as I know.

ok children, stop flaming and answer his question.
chances are you will be able to find cheaper springs at any major four wheel drive retainer (i.e. 4 wheel parts wholesale, etc...) one thing to keep in mind, that brian mentioned above is that the matched springs will give your NAS Discovery a level lift. to my knowledge, Great Basin Rovers and Expedition Exchange are the only ones that are doing this. also realize, that to be able to match springs, one must have a general knowledge of Rovers and large selection of land rover specific springs. with that said, you may find a less costly spring on the net. etc.. but understand the subtleties that make some retainers a bit more expensive.
i guarantee that the wingnut behind the counter at four wheel parts wholesale won't have a clue about matching springs. let's face it if you don't have a part number, they don't have a clue.
so who has the cheapest spring? i haven't a clue, try a google search?

EE has great customer service! Nice guys, and they actually know what they're talking about. I was very impressed with their paitence and explanation of a very stupid Rover question I had. Try 'em.
