Running boards be gone.
As much as the 22" look Geneva-car-show-class, they somehow are not my cup of tea, however YMMV. Regards etc.,

Doesn't quite work like that , when you lower the normal ride height by say 20mm all other levels are lowered by 20mm 👍

Looks nice, well done. However, you need the later rear lamps, plus I assume the lowered ride height is OK for tootling around, but what happens when the suspension automatically drops 20mm at high speed Question Embarassed Question I bet its interesting, time for clean underpants Whistle In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Thanks mate , yeah the rear lights would really set the back end off nicely 👍
Being honest the ride isn't much different at -26 mm
And If I'm doing some motorway journeys il probably revert to factory height .

Really like this, If you plan to change your rear lights to LED I would be interested for my HST conversion

Am I right in thinking that as you are using your pre-facelift head lights the front body kit is not genuine LR parts.

BTW car looks fab.

Can I ask what hub changes you had to make to get the RRS2 22" wheels to fit? I want to go the other way and fit a set of Goodyear Mud Terrain Tyres on Disco3 wheels.......... 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

RRS2 wheels bolt straight on a RRS1 with no changes, the wheels just have a slightly different offset. RRS1 53mm and RRS2 49mm.

Spain 

D6EML -- A simple question for you to think about
When a car is permanently lowered does this not add a stress to the suspension bushes, stresses that the car was not designed for, especially when the car is an access height. I thought that the suspension bush had a specified amount of twist in it, basically acting as a spring.

I am sure one of the tech guys Disco-Mikey or similar will be along to clarify, plus I understood that the suspension had to be torqued up at specified position. In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.
