Designa Chassis

[LRover74]

Hello,
Planning on working on my rover.Does anyone has experience importing a chassis from Designa Chassis? I tried contacting via e-mail but got no response for shipping to US. Thanks.

Do you not like the chassis Rovers North have? You'd just have to import it from Vermont and they're galvanized.

Yes.since I have to do major work,I was looking at coil chassis options,and I am better at bolt on stuff.

I bought my galvy chassis from RN 14 years ago now. It's been great and was easy enough to fit. If I were to do it again, I'd look for a coil chassis though.....

Designa Chassis make good products from what I have heard second hand through others who have purchased from them. They are the only option I know of for an off the shelf coil chassis for a series vehicle. If you want to make a defender chassis fit you can get one from RN or you can get a stock leafer from RN as well. East Coast Rovers advertises a coil conversion but they also say they have to do it in shop.

The last I know East Coast has placed series work on the back burner--seeing more profit in later models.Anyway, their prices would not be affordable. The reason I considered the coiler is considering transportation fees,it may not be too much more expensive compared to the leaf spring, about $1,685.30 USD plus 1000.00 transport. Then for less than 500 the other suspension parts. Total about $3000.00

did you get a shipping quote with all the customs fees? $1000 sounds pretty cheap....but I've only seen the prices for an entire shipping container.

Thanks,I must admit,I did not count the custom and grokerage fees. I will call around next week. Does anyone know if DOT gets involved.Regards
