Landy springs

Okay folks i have seen these

Fitted to a landrover and i am quite impressed with the idea behind it. So what do the folk here think of them. is there something stupid about them that i haven't spotted

The normal solution is the spring detaches from the axle on full drop but i don't know if i like that idea

I know of a few folk who use this set up on real off-road stuff and they swear by it. Probably fantastic off-road but I'm not sure about on-road - might be a wee bit scary.

Seeing as it's a Landie and it's an off-road vehicle I'd give them the thumbs up.

Looks like a sound idea. Bit of an improvement on the dislocation cone setup, never struck me as a good idea. :thumbsup
