Default BritPart Lift

Has anyone used the BritPart lift like this one?
Land Rover Discovery 2 Lift Spring Kit | eBay

Or this one?

Honestly, Terrafirma's kit is so cheap and won't fall apart on you. It's hard to beat.

The cheapest part is not always the least expensive.

I have NOT and will NOT use then but I have installed them on other peoples cars in the UK to appaling results. Yes they are cheap but there is a reson for that. After instaling them I have seen springs sag and shocks go weak. Some of this has been in less than a year and with normal road use.

In the UK they are known as SH*T PART

You pay you monies and take your choice... my $0.02

They're known as that here too

There are only two reasons you see Britpart in the states.

1. It's so cheap that people don't mind replacing it again later.
2. They have the only aftermarket version available of a certain part.

I can't speak for the shocks but I have had Britpart Heavy Duty spring on my D2 for the last 2 years. They are amazing. I am very happy with these spring. They take a massive load but also feel good when just running day-to-day.

Ill second the terrafirma kit. It's a great lift at a great price. I just wish I would've just saved my money so I could've bought my custom flexi coils and bilstein 7100s. Oh well, looks like my TF kit is my temp

Nah, TF027 is the heaviest duty rear spring that'll fit the D2. Take 2-3 dead bodies out of the loadspace and you should be fine.
