Hi there,

I'm going to be using lowering blocks for the rear and lowering springs on the front of my 340 shortly.

I am wanting to upgrade the shocks too so wondering what shocks from what cars people have found that fit the 340. I hear front defender shocks fit the rear?

Thanks,
Jamie

Land Rover front shocks have close to the same open/closed length as 340 rear and will fit in place. However the valving is way off for what the 300 needs at the rear.

For upgraded dampers so here http://www.classicswede.co.uk/Adjustabl ... 80907.aspx

Defender 110 for example?

Thanks for the links.

Yep the fronts off a 110 have close dimensions and end fittings. Commonly used for drift cars but hopeless on the road.

Why are they typically used for drift cars not road?
Are they to stiff?

Because they are for a 2 ton off roader not an 1100kg saloon/hatch so yes they are stiff
