Default Anyone using this lift kit

This company is overseas and yet can beat most domestic prices on parts and accessories even after shipping them to me. Just wondering if anyone had ever had any experience with this kit. I already have some tires and am wanting to get it here before the snow starts flying. Being a first time customer they said I can buy it to my door for $304.60 that is pretty hard to beat

where are you? I doubt they can ship international for that price.

the website says it's $312.65 and that's before shipping...you sure the quote they gave you wasn't in British pounds?

I just got my shipping inquiry back from them yesterday, I am waiting on them to email and actual invoice on Monday and make payment. That is what I thought but I have talked to them 3-4 times via email on confirming it. They have some really good prices on stuff thought about adding a big front bumper to my order as well. But I am hung up on getting dislocation cones for the rear and longer length brake lines to go along with the lift. I ended up with about an $80 discount on the lift and shipping was $109 which is part of the total I listed its a steal. Glad to see your an Obama supporter as well NiteTrain

I have the same exact shocks on my 97 Disco (as it says in my signature). And I have nothing but praise for them actually.

I got a real good deal from a local Rover club member who had gone thru several Rovers over the last 10 years or so. He had purchase OME rear heavy duty springs but was in an accident with his Disco, the one he replaced it with was already beefed up, so these were now surplus to him.

He sold me the springs, delivered and then the two of us installed the new springs and shocks on the rear, moved the existing rear springs to the front ( a tip from Rob as well) along with the new shocks and myine sat 3.5 inches higher than when we started. It was sagging due to worn original springs.

Most of my driving has been on road with just a few off-road trail runs with local club members, it's done fine. I got my ES9000's from RN for 200 bucks for four, I got free shipping due to size of internet order.

No problems with the shocks at all.

Wow, that seem really hard to pass on. I was looking at the Terrafirma but these would even beat those prices. Do they have medium duty or do they only offer heavy? How long would it take to receive?

Graveshaker, they have a 1.5" kit I would assume it to be a softer spring but it is still listed as HD so not really sure on that. As for how long it should take to recieve I am guessing around 7-9 days with UPS. I sent a leather jacket to France not that long ago and it made it pretty fast just using the postal service. Nowhere to hide drugs or contraband in a lift kit so customs should be pretty simple

Great! I just emailed Becci hopefully I can get a good deal too. I told her I was from this form and sent her the link to this thread.

I asked for a quote a few weeks ago and they quoted me 230$ for shipping, which was exactly the same price as the lift kit I wanted to buy.
