Hello everyone, if no one has seen me post before, I have a 1997 Tdi Disco,
http://www.sounddomain.com/id/jsaenz80

theres my page in case you want to see..

now, my ride's begging me to put in new shocks, my mind is made up and I will be going with bilsteins per everyone's reccomendation, maybe in the future I will be adding the medium OME springs, but for now, I will only be going with the shocks. Just one concern I have, will it be the same for me to use the billsteins, say, buying them off the net, Atlantic British for example? I'm unsure if there is a difference between shocks & their mounts for a Diesel Discovery or the V8, or of the weight difference between them will affect the performance of the suspension.
Thanks in advance

Joel

751 front spring
762 rears
N115 front shocks
N44 rears

What kind of lift would I be expecting with this?
What type of ride would I expect?
I offroad a bit, but mostly the Tdi is a daily driver, just office and back.
btw is there a difference between the N44 and N46
found a page that will sell me the whole set and ship for free for a rather good price, but they dont offer the N44

anyone? not sure what store sells the full matched set as Bazzle mentioned, many sell the products but they are not matched this way, maybe they are matched for American specs and V8's instead of the Tdi??
