Short Product Summary

Made for the Land Rover Defender 90 from 1984 onwards, Land Rover Range Rover Classic from 1970 to 1996 and Land Rover Discovery I from 1989 to 1998, this Foam Cell suspension kit pairs oversized foam cell shocks with springs matched to the Heavy rating. It is a complete kit, and the range focuses on ride control, comfort and shock cooling.

Why This Product

Long days on rough roads make shocks work hard, and heat builds up. The Foam Cell range concentrates on ride control, comfort and shock cooling, using oversized twin-wall steel shocks with foam cell technology. This kit brings shocks, springs and bushes together for the vehicles listed on this page, matched to the Heavy spring rating.

Key Features

• Foam cell shock absorbers – the gas and hydraulic fluid are kept apart to help limit cavitation
• Twin-wall steel design – an oversized, sturdy shock body for demanding roads
• 3mm steel construction – used for both the shock absorber and the spring seat
• Vehicle-specific tuning – each shock is set up for the vehicle it is listed for, for ride and lift
• Heavy spring rating – the springs in this kit are matched to the Heavy rating
• Everything in one box – shocks, springs, bushes and the other essentials are part of the kit
• Ride control and comfort – the range focuses on ride control, comfort and shock cooling

Ideal For

• Owners of the listed vehicles who want a kit tuned for their exact model and year range
• Tourers and weekend campers who want a controlled, comfortable ride on gravel and corrugations
• Buyers adding weight such as a bull bar, canopy or drawers, who need the rating discussed properly
• Buyers who like one order for shocks, springs and bushes rather than sourcing parts separately
