Hey, had a quick look through the fourm but coudnt find if you could use landrover shocks in the front aswell as the rear + would you use the landrover front shocks for the front and landrover rear shocks for the rear if that makes sense lol Cheers Joe

Hi Joe,

The only uprated front shocks are my adjustables. For teh rear you can go for my adjustables or use landi fronts

Cheers am trying to do it cheap so i will probly just cut the springs, just wondering but how much are you adjustables

If you are doing it on the cheap then I would say sit down. The fronts are £170 a pair and rears are £130. BTW that is quite cheap for adjustable inserts.

what year landy shocks fit the back?

trust me buy from dai,you will not regret it

The original springs are so soft that shortening them wont really help the handling at all. I found a good combination on a budget are some Custom Classicswede lowering springs and KYB or similar shock inserts. I would expect that all original shocks, like mine are so soft they might as well not be there. Oh, I think poly bushes at the front also make a big difference.


As far a rear shocks go I think the most important thing is that they have a threaded bit at the top and bottom, Ive got some old monroe shocks off a Range Rover. I thought I would be better with something a bit older and worn out as I was warned about the stiffness of new ones. Search ebay for Defender 90 or similar.

bit off a tread hackso sorry in advance
but were is every one getting front shock inserts from because i cant seem to find any
thanks mat

LR 90's on the back and 80/90w in the fronts FTW - I'm still yet to refill mine. Boinnnnnnggggg!

Mat, try asking for Quentin Hazel shocks at a motor factors or try this website, http://www.buypartsby.co.uk/. I was lucky to get some KYBs from an owner on here. There are some Monroes on ebay I think, worth a look.

kool thanks for that info might have a shot at just refilling them and if im not happy then ill
do it properly i am looking on ebay as we speak so if some come up at a resonable price ill have them
thanks mr sound craft

I've had good results with much less than 80/90 oil. I used 35 grade i think, from memory, with 190lb springs. But you could go up a grade or 2 from that comfortably, I'd imagine.
