Thread: Old man emu shocks

I run the shorter 60070 OME Nitro chargers on my Defender. I had Koni Raids before and find the OMEs much more comfortable compared to them.
If you have a lot of weight in the back, you might find them a bit on the soft side. I improved this by using the two position Gwyn Lewis upper rear mounts and I'm now happy with this setup.
The 60070L is a 11.5? shock and gives you a lot of flex (more than I wanted).
If you are in Sydney, you are welcome to have a look at my setup. I also have a set of four new 60070L Nitro Chargers which I'd be willing to let go for a good price.

Cheers Joachim

what's a good price?

I have run OME's my 110 and now the 130 and not had any trouble at all.


In the 110 on one trip the fronts got so hot the yellow paint turned very very dark burnt yellow but the shocks still worked perfectly. I still have them and take them as spares.


That sold me on OME's.
