suspension help - 6/5/2007 6:31:49 PM    eriqcharlz   Posts: 10 Joined: 1/31/2007 Status: offline First of all I would like to extend many, many, many thanks to DiscoMike for all the assistance and advice, my '00 Disco II is running superb! I just got my head gaskets replaced........OUCH!!!! Next month I would like to do a few things to the suspension and brakes. I have read on here that slotted and drilled rotors are a good choice with kevlar brakes, so I think my mind is made up with that. I will also be replacing the factory brake lines with stainless steel ones. Moving on to the suspension; I will probably be putting in Bilstein shocks as well as a Bilstein steering damper. I don't do much off roading as there arent any places, that I know of, to do so in San Antonio. Should I also have the coils replaced? What about the bushings? Any suggestions or feed back would be great. I did notice a "package" on Atlantic British that included the shocks (Old Man Emu), coils and bushings (I think they are the bushings), sorry, still trying to learn the terminology. Thanks again.

You might want to call me sometime and we can go all thru it. Mike 303-862-7680 (in reply to eriqcharlz) Post #: 4

I will also be having the brake system flushed when I get the brakes, shocks, etc. in my posession. What are your thoughts on my original inquiry? (in reply to Disco Mike) Post #: 5

By the way, when you get ready for the brakes, go check out the DBA package Steve has, http://www.dap-inc.com/homeframe.htm Mike (in reply to eriqcharlz) Post #: 6
