Nice. Yea I'm with you on the lines and new headwear is a good selling point. I think I can get a crappy laptop from Wally World for about $200 which would be cheaper than buying windows to mirror on my MacBook. But I do like the fact that it is in a sense close to tech book and you can always buy the stuff when you add to the collection. I figure by the time the new disco's get out of warranty, they will have the software for it also (at least I'm hoping like hell).

I'm gonna go with the ome heavy duty 2" and I'm not sure on the extended sensors. I figured that would only play in on 3" or more of lift. I am gonna get the front driveshaft from British parts of Utah though. I like the fact they have 5 serviceable grease points. It has 4 regular grease fittings and a needle point for the ball of the double cardigan joint. It's a bit more that lucky 8 but about the same as the time woods one

There's also this thing that has been posted on the forum before: New Arrival V145 JLR Mangoose SDD Pro For Jaguar and Land Rover

But I'm not sure exactly how it works. $50 seems too good to be true. It makes sense though, what we really need is the software (wonder if its torrentable?) the cable is just a cable.

I emailed LRdirect.com to see when the lynx is back in stock. It's listed at only $266 usd.

That's a lot cheaper than Atlantic British. Hell they are always my last resort but at least I can check there then look elsewhere. I love lucky 8 but a lot of stuff isn't on their website, gotta call and get the info and with my work schedule, they are usually closed

I have the AB braided lines, they have a plastic over the braided line that with little movement already began coming out of the banjo fitting at the caliper. Not sure if maybe I got a bad set but just something to keep in mind. We'll see how they hold up over more time. Other than that I like the set and look pretty damn nice.

x2 for AB's six brake line kit. I bought the extended brake lines kit that came with new crush washers and banjo bolts.
The kit is on sale now... Discovery Series II Brake Hose Kit | Discovery With Raised Suspensions

Wow that's a huge price drop. Surprises me how they can get away with such big mark ups.

Where on their page did you find it Jeff. I've been searching and can't find it anywhere.

I found it man. Had to actually enter the britpart number. They do have stuff a ton cheaper than ordering from the us on a ton of stuff. Let me know how quickly it gets to you man. I'm gonna break down and order one also. I'm thinking about ordering that bearmach 2" lift that comes with the pro comp shocks. I love arb but I've been a fan of the procomp shocks for a while. Ran them on my last few jeeps and f-150's. just would like to see what the weight is on them. I want the heavy duty set up so I don't have to change out springs later when I order the bumpers and everything else
