Default Britpart Suspension?

I just came across a british suspension company named britpart and noticed relatively low prices for an upgrade in suspension. I was kinda wondering if anybody has ever bought one of their suspension kits or has heard about them and what your input would be on purchasing one? thanks for the help!

Some exchange the b with an sh, to describe their products. Many broken britpart springs out there. I would not put their suspension parts on my truck if they were free. You may get lucky, you may not. Some of the little bits that they produce might be worth the risk, but suspension is a gamble

Okay! Honestly thats all the input I needed! I'm also considering a terrafirma setup, shocks and coils in all. Any input on those?

Britpart suspension is what you put on your ex-wife's land rover if your trying to get out of alimony payments

TerraFirma is good, I've got it on my 110 and I'm happy with the ride and quality

I have had bad experiences with Britparts (e.g., poor rear driveshaft design and quality). I have the Terra Firma 2" medium duty springs for the past 6 months which I definitely recommend.

britpart is what you should get if the original is NLA and nobody else makes an aftermarket part.

Full disclosure - I use a britpart shaft removal socket, often. It has not broken, yet.
Yet...

AAaaaaarrrrrgggggghhhhhh ........................ rather stick pins in my eyes, don't even go there in your worst nightmares.

In all honesty, never use them on critical replacemnt parts or those hard to access/replace at a later date. OK for the pretty bits and pieces where it doesn't matter too much.

I think my regards to S#itparts are well known here and on other forums. By all means buy them but make sure that you buy two sets and use copper grease with wing nuts to tighten every thing down as you will be replacing them in about 12 months or less so it will be easier to get off

Tut, tut Dusty. I read that Br(sh)itpart are upping their game trying to shed their bad reputation for rubbish quality .......................... hmmmm yeah ........................ right I'll let a few thousand other punters go there first and they can report back .................... of course not that I'm a sceptic eh ...........
