Thread: my thoughts on Old Man Emu Suspension

You need to make your own informed decision, based on your own research and determination.

Any lift will require all of those bit I listed previously.

DC shaft ? Mine was custom but a lot of members are having great results with Tom Woods Shafts. You will need one !

Really for the benefits its not that expensive, so go for it.

Sort it once..sorted it right..set and forget !

The Terrafirma bits should be pretty good, seeing as they were copied from the very good product from Gwyn Lewis

Yeah Terrafirma should be run by the Chinese they way they have copied everything , not come up with anything themselves.

If you use +50mm shocks the above kit is a requirement not a choice.

When you say "HD front shock towers".... Are they standard height ones, or are they taller or shorter than standard? Bearing in mind im only looking for a 2" lift here.

You don't need a double cardan front shaft with a 50mm lift, a 30 degree wide angle shaft works fine. well it has been working for me for 4 yrs with no vibrations/problems.

I heard terrafirma springs are made by dobinsons. I have a set of dobinsons standard height 225lbs front and 330lbs rears and they are very rough/harsh.As far as I know kings make OME springs so I would go with either of them which I will be doing in a few months.

I have a set of T expedition on the rear of a Tdi and for the price I am impressed. In the past I have used Bils and Dobinsons (twin set up) on the rear with 50mm, no sway bar and constant load and impressed with T shocks at 100 each.

They're huge I didn't believe they'd fit when I saw them.

I guess it's whatever gets you home. It's all relative as my other is a S1.

I know its a little off topic for the title but I just want to say, anyone looking for a driveshaft of any breed will do well to contact Tom Wood's Driveshafts in Utah. Just had one specially made for my upcoming lift job (following previous advice on this post about driveshafts) and I got it to my door for less than AUD700. My local machine shop wanted over $800 just for the double cardan joint to join into my current stock front shaft off my 110. Their total quote was over $1,400. Its a shame I couldn't go local but for half the price, its a no-brainer.
Cheers!
