I had them fitted on all my cars before a had the big 4x4 with adjustable dampers/ride height with no problems and have been toying about putting them to my 75 when a get round to putting tow bar on. Though it was rumoured that they can cause premature spring failure

Are these the rubber "doughnuts" or replacement / extra springs?

Ive used both donuts and upgraded or commercial vehicle equivalent springs in the past and police spec on a Range Rover and Senator I once had both worked well though the donuts were a 5min as side job to fit..
