Re: disco anti roll

ours is '95, and has an ARB on the rear. can't say I've noticed about the front. Rolls plenty anyway, if it were mine, I'd put stiffer springs on it.

Post-94 facelift Discoveries - the Romulus model - should have ARB front and rear. But yes, Austin, they can still roll a bit. I wouldn't put stiffer springs on but a set of new springs and shocks will do wonders for the road handling.

it certainly need rear shocks, which are on the to-do list. But the 110 is much stiffer sprung, and handles, to my mind, much better on the road. If I had a disco it'd get at least 10% stiffer springs, I reckon.

what's the thought on dampers for discos? is it worth the extra expense for decent gas ones, or will Paddock's finest, replaced suitably frequently, do as well? actually, I've an idea that Paddock do gas ones at reasonable prices, too.

Mine is a 93 and has all of the brackets, front and rear, but no ARB is fitted as standard. You can retrofit. It does restrict articulation if you decide to go off road.

My Discovery will get a new set of springs and shocks next year, when I can afford it ;-)

I wouldn't use stiffer springs simply because they reduce axle articulation and therefore off-road capability. I will certainly go for gas shocks though even if I don't really need them.
