Discovery Mk1 Chassis / Suspension Improvements
Why modify the suspension of your Land-Rover product?
. Land-Rover make all their products capable of being driven over extremely rough terrain. This is achieved by using high spring rates and low anti-roll stiffness.
. The result of this off-road capability is a rather harsh ride on-road, and a tendency to roll too much when cornering at speed.
. The worst terrain most owners need to deal with are farm tracks and fields, thus the suspension of your vehicle is far from ideal for your personal needs.
At JE Engineering we have developed alternative parts to alter the suspension characteristics to better suit the average owner who does not need the legendary off-road capability of the standard product. Our normal package of modifications will give increased roll stiffness for better cornering stability, without changing spring rates. This improves grip and ride to more optimum levels for normal road use. These changes, together with the use of premium dampers (we usually use Koni) give a more comfortable ride, less roll (and pitch) and more confidence inspiring handling. Off-road capability will only be recognised as a little impaired by the dedicated off-road users and there is no performance sacrifice for conditions of snow, ice, mud and grass.
