Dampers?

[Cripvw]

Hey peeps want to stiffen up my 340 tried viagra but had no joy
Lol

What year and model do the landrover dampers have to be from and what type's best oil or gas filled?

Also what oil grade is best for the front?

Key words to note as you read the above; dampers, don't and stiffen.

What do you want the car for? On the plus side, over damped is better than oversprung. However, correct wins over both quite significantly.

I had to refill my fronts when I found out that my gas cartridge dampers wouldn't fit. I used 10W/40 engine oil rather than 80W as suggested elsewhere. I did this because the oil I removed looked like 5W MTB fork oil, thin like water. However I haven't driven the frigging thing since then, so I can't say what it's like.

Lets not get to tech lol
I just want ride quality with the 2'' drop my 340 has

How does the suspension feel with the 10w 40 in it does the body rock much?
