"A major improvement, totally transformed the
ride."
- D.M. Washington, U.S.A. '88'
"It is very very good. If anybody had told me I would not have believed
them. I will be taking it to Billings next year. The ride is as good as
a 90."
- B.F. Newby, England '88'
"All in all I am ecstatic with the new springs and would recomend them
for replacing all standard Land Rover springs regardless of Series."
- M.R. Ontario, Canada '80'
"The ride is fantastic and a brief articulation test put a smile on my
face."
- D.S. Brisbore, Australia '109' Safari
"I've owned my '56' Series I for twenty years and I think those
Parabolics you sold me were the best thing that ever happened to that
truck."
- G.R. '56' Series I
"Parabolics? Well the last 4 days of off-roading and highway driving
with the Border to Border expedition proved that the right Parabolics
on a vehicle that is in good shape otherwise can be just as comfortable
as any coil Land Rover, most noticeable at speed over potholes. One
person commented after driving my truck along a dirt road with potholes
that it was 'like driving a Cadillac' as he got back into his coil
110!! The one thing that will remain the same with Parabolics and
regular leafs is how they 'move the axle' under compression and how
that effects the vehicles control and handling and is expecially
noticeable at speed. In my opinion it is not quite as comfortable as a
coiler in that regard. But Hey, an awesome Series rig with Parabolics
is way cheaper that a new 90 or 110!!."
- D.McD. Vancouver, Canada
"I wanted to let you know pleased I have been with the Parabolic
springs fitted to my 109 pick up. The day after fitting them I gave
them a good testing in the North West Challenge, an extreme 2 day off
road event for Land Rovers. The Parabolics performed superbly and
completely transformed the off road handling characteristics, the
springs seem to flatten obstacles that would have previously had me
gritting my teeth in anticipation of being given a severe jolting. The
dramatically improved articulation delivers much better traction on the
type of hills that I used to scrabble up or end up being cross-axled.
The benefits of the new springs have also made the truck a much more
comfortable daily driver, the potholes, dips and manholes no longer
have that shattering feel to them.
You may be interested to know that I have been using standard shock
absorbers with the Parabolics without any problems, but it is important
to lengthen the drop straps. The three leaf springs are more that
adequate for my pickup even when I take an occasional heavy load."
- N.P. Canada, Millitary '109'
"Splendid."
- D.M. Nice, France
"I love my Parabolics. I have the two leaf fronts and two leaf rears."
- D.H. USA
"I installed the Rocky Mountain Parabolics on my 88 and am very
satisfied with them. The ride is excellent"
- B.R. USA
"I have installed the Rocky Mountain springs on my project '88' and one
of our club members has them on his. The ride is almost as smooth as
coils and the truck seems to float over washboard."
- J.C. USA
"A much better ride. Averages 60 mph. Ride is now like a Range Rover
and definitely better than any factory option. Should have been
