Your only choice in stock height is LR genuine. for other choices look at the vendors section of this site | ||

and theres always custom...if you just have a leaning problem you can add a spacer to the low side for just a few $, or are you wanting lift? | ||

there are quite a few options for springs that will lift your truck (i think the smallest amount would be 5cm). if you wanted stock height, i guess you could find someone that removed their lr springs and buy those, but i see one big problem there...since you have a DI, i would guess all used springs would be worn out and not worth buying. the springs for a DII sit 2.54cm higher, so even low milage DII springs would not work for you. personally, i think my truck handled MUCH better with OME HD springs. do a little searching on this site and you will find much to read about springs...good luck. mike btw...the habs really let me down last night against philly. | ||

coils get worn and lean...kinda the nature of the beast. Usually the pass. rear side first. | ||

this isn't true... you can most def. replace springs for stock hieght either land rover genuine, custom... i know for a fact that for $299 NWP (Northwest Parts www.northwestparts.com/) sells stock height springs... for most people the decision is easy though... most people decide to lift their vehicle up to about 2" without sacrificing much of anything... since you are replacing the springs anyway... peace! do some searches in the archives bro! | ||

RoversNorth (www.roversnorth.com) can supply you with any LR Genuine spring. I have D90 springs up front and Discovery springs in the rear. Most of the various LR springs regardless of model will fit. Do you have sway bars fitted? They tend to lean without them. The drivers side spring is a little longer to account for the steering box, etc. This is a good reference: http://members.shaw.ca/jbarge/springinfo.html. | ||

DAP Inc sells D1 springs for $35/ea. front and $40/ea. rear. They are properly balanced also, but be sure to ask. I installed them on my '97 D1 with Bilsteins and they are great. Night and day. However, I do not lift or modify, only upgrade. This setup brought me back to the factory height and corrected the lean. | ||

If you want to stay stock and height isnt an issue try swapping over the springs on the leaning end. Bazzle |
