  2. Eibach Pro Dampers and Springs fitted :)

    Dampers?

    Anyone recommend any dampers to replace the standard ones on my LC? Planning to replace wishbone bushes, etc to tighten it all up but with the car doing lots of miles I dont want stiffer / uprated suspension... new bushes plus rear ARB should be enough ;) Dampers feel ok at 99k miles but...
