Chasis Dynamic 25mm lower springs and Koni struts, front end fully poly bushed.

Works for me on my 4x4.

Speak to Mike Rainbird, I have Koni fully adjustable shocks all round, and the Ahmed/LEDA springs all round, and I simply cannot fault it what-so-ever, fantastic setup!!

Only joking. Go for Avo suspension, seems to be a lot of recommendations and have only heard good from other saph owners.
