Frequently asked questions

What does the DC6000 foam cell front shock do?
The DC6000 front shock absorber damps spring oscillation and axle movement, keeping the tyres on the road. It's a foam cell (cellular) damper: a foam insert replaces pressurised gas, allowing more oil for heat dispersion and better fade resistance under sustained off-road use. Set for standard ride height.
Which Land Rovers does the DC6000 fit?
The DC6000 foam cell front shock fits the Land Rover Defender (up to 2016), Discovery 1 (1989-1998) and Range Rover Classic (up to 1994), all engines, at standard ride height. It's an aftermarket BritPart damper for the front suspension.
What's the difference between foam cell and a gas shock, and are lifted versions available?
A foam cell shock uses a cellular foam insert instead of pressurised gas, carrying more oil so it resists fade on long, rough runs. This DC6000 is standard height; the +2 inch DC6000L and +5 inch DC6000LL cover lifted suspensions.
