New Rover suspension

It has been a long time since I have done any real work on any of my cars.  My vehicle work has been limited to oil changes, etc.  But the Rover has been needing suspension work for a while, so I finally decided it was time.  I decided that while I was replacing the springs and shocks I would go ahead and upgrade to some higher performance aftermarket parts (which actually cost less).  A side benefit to this is a 2" lift.

The front took all of last Sunday, and I ran out of light and energy, so the back had to wait a few days but could not be driven until it was finished.  I started on the back on Wednesday afternoon, but ran into trouble (broke a bolt) and could not finish until Friday.  Now it is done!  The new suspension seems to have fixed the issues I was having, improved the ride, and gave me a 2.5" lift.  Overall a very satisfying job.
