Suspension options?

Did the Freelander 2 have different height options from the factory?

England 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 HSE Manual Zermatt Silver

there is an online review of the 2008/09 HST which says this :-

"The Freelander is different and was engineered with off-road use very much in mind but the HST has a different bias and has stiffened springs and a lowered ride height to cope with sportier on-road driving."

article https://www.buyacar.co.uk/research/review_...2583.jhtml

I don't believe it, never seen different suspension parts on sale for an HST 2017 SEAT Ateca 4drive 2.0 xcellence (May 2022 -
2007 HSE with HST bodykit in Zermatt Silver 169,700 miles (dec 2016 - May 2022 )
2007 Honda Civic Type S GT (2012-2017)
2002 Mini Cooper S (2008-2012)
1992 Honda Legend 3.2i (2003-2008)
1990 Honda Concerto (1999-2003)
1985 Honda Accord (1997-1999)
1983 Honda Accord (1993-1997)
1983 Mini Mayfair (1988-1993)
1974 Mini 1000 (1979-1986)

United Kingdom 2013 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Firenze Red

Only difference in struts is that late cars have the electronic handbrake, this means an extra bracket is welded to the rear strut for carrying / securing the wires and the lift in price for that later aftermarket strut is far more expensive for the sake of two penneth of mild steel being stuck on.

you can get a bilsteni damper for a Evoque will lower by 20mm and they do work have a set on a 2009 commercial not too hard but work well. by what I could see of them you can change the inserts. When I get home I will put the part number on.

ive never heard of different factory suspension heights for the FL2, I do believe the HST, Sport LE and Dynamic have different approach and departure angles to the bumper extensions but that's all.
