Australia 2007 Range Rover Sport TDV8 S Bonatti Grey
Suspension and all things lift

No doubt this has been done to death already, (sorry but my use of the search tool seems to bring up nonsense). Has anyone got direct contact details for the guy making the adjustable ride height sensor rods, (I think his name is sasquatch). One that doesn't involve joining other forums? Have any Australians got them and used their wagons over high speed corrigations? Anyone got any advice on these, use or not use etc?
Also, if anyone's interested, Dobbin engineering suggest they may be able to adapt portal hubs, and ARB locker equiped Dana diffs to fit. Not sure if they've actually looked at a RR Sport yet, (only spoken a couple of times via email) but at a price guess of only $6000ish all up, would make for a fun toy!
Thanks in advance guys, and happy xmas / new year etc to all. 4wding only starts when you have to get out the cab. Everything before that is just driving on crap roads!

Someone in Australia makes the rods as well, but don't remember his name. You can contact 'sasquatch' via the LR3 section at: http://www.lrrforums.com/ or buy them from : http://www.lucky8llc.com/Products.asp?ProductID=2206 (might be cheaper getting them from him via the forum).

The portal conversion would be awesome. Something to try in the future.

Thanks Leo, I'll jump on and see about getting a set sent out now.

I think the portals are the ultimate solution as all the original suspension components would remain the same, and even the center of gravity would essensually remain the same as although you've gone up 4 inches, each portal widens the track by 2 inches. I'm hoping to have a good look at them in the new year. The only real worries I have are:-
a. what effects it will have on any of the electronic systems; and
b. whether it is robust enough to not only handle banging about off road, and the endless corrigations of some of the big WA tracks, but also the riggers of being used as a daily drive car.

Have a great xmas 4wding only starts when you have to get out the cab. Everything before that is just driving on crap roads!
