What suspension is on your current FTO?

I have a set of standard FTO springs free to a good home if anyone wants them.

If its just lowered on springs and standard dampers then it shouldn't be too hard. Problem might be more to do with worn dampers, worn bushes and droplinks than your springs.

I replaced all my bushes (inc ARBs) and droplinks on my last FTO - also replaced dampers with the Camskill KYBs and a set of Apex springs. FTO was still more comfortable (than standard worn FTO suspension) and handled well.
