Thread: Terrafirma Prosport Plus 2" shocks review

Did you get rrp on these?

That's what I paid over the counter.

I have had my TF's (+2 ProSport's front - Expedition's rear ) for 3 years.

All four going strong without any problems

I think overall there a very good product for the money, we sell a fair few of them, and everyones very happy when fitted...

I really wanted to get my hands on a set of Koni's but couldn't get a set that was plus 2" that anyone would ship to me. I could've got the raids but they would've been too harsh.

I refuse to pay the crazy prices they charge over here.
So after a little research on the Terrafirma shockers and good feedback I've received from friends, I went out and purchased a set of Prosport plus 2" shocks. For the record the fronts are 750mm fully extended. I didn't think to measure the rears before installing them, but I guess they would be the same length.

I got them from Rovercraft in Ferntree Gully Melbourne ( Chris the manager was a great help) and the full set cost me $446. Great price and cheaper than importing from UK or USA as they were all charging ridiculous prices for freight. It's as if there is an understanding that they won't ship in order to protect local suppliers. Fair enough!

Whilst doing my research I wasn't able to find any video reviews of the shockers, so I decided to do my own. Please understand that this is by no means a professional assessment. I just wanted to give others an idea of what I think and perhaps it may help others decide whether they are suited to their needs. Apologies for the editing. You may hear a clattering sound in the car, it's my fridge slide and not the shockers.

I do intend doing another review of them out on some harder tracks with footage of travel and how they perform.
I hope you find it helpful.

The only thing I didn't like were the cheap plastic dust covers which appear to have replaced the gators. It would have been better if they were steel, but they are better than the gators. They are a nice looking shocker and not too blingie as some have described them.Overall I am very happy with them as they performed as expected.
Time will tell exactly how durable they are. But I guess at $450
a set I won't be complaining too much if they need replacing after 3 or 4 years.

Cheers
Mick

You may need to amend the lengths that you have for the +2" shocks,the measurements are taken from the base of the threaded shaft to base of threaded shaft.The length that you have (750mm) makes them nearly 2" longer than the +5" shocks

I second that, the standard length Terrafirma will NOT suit standard length factory fitted springs in Defender OR disco/RR. They are at least 1" longer and DO cause dislocation of (rear) springs on max articulation if standard spring free lengths are maintained.

If however using any of the aftermarket 'std' replacement springs like King, Dobinson etc they are slightly longer anyhow so less problematic.

Yeah Imeant to mention, I have a 1.5 inch dobinson lift & that measurement is from end of each pin. I do intend going a 2" lift one day with cranked trailing arms, lowered shock mounts/turrets etc. When I was in the store I was shown the terafirma catalogue & was impressed withthe quality products they have.

Just gotta save a few pennies.

Sorry Mick forgot to mention, good vid report too, they should give you some merchandise or a further discount on subsequent purchases for those plugs!

Seriously, hit them up, they can certainly afford to!!
