Better handling for the Defender

A ride control package from Bilstein is available for all variants of the Land Rover Defender 90 and 110 from 1996 onwards. Two switchable modes, Sport and Comfort, are offered to the driver, controlled from a push of a button fitted to the car’s interior. The application is said to offer significant improvements in handling. The product has been extensively tested in its lab and also at its Papenburg research facility. Here, the kits were ‘shaken down’ by test drivers. The kits carry full TUV approval and come with a 24-month warranty.
