Old man emu shocks

[pommy]

Looking for reviews of ome shocks before I purchase some, the ones recommended by Gwyn Lewis for his suspension kit part number 60070L thanks in advance Richard

[Reads90]

I used to use them for my winch challenge truck and they are now on my 90. I love them and think they are good for the price. Took the 90 round Aus and they preformed great and 10 years later still are performing good.
Don't get terrafirma ones as they are copies of the OME's.

[Slunnie]

They are Landcruiser front extended shocks. 381 closed, 667 open and about 11.3" travel.

[pommy]

No won't be putting terrafirma in had them in my old car looking for something better for this car

[D90 orkney]

Get superior engineering or fox. Much better

[pommy]

Where would. One purchase fox shocks the superior are from them selves but which ones ?

The 110 is easy to setup. Not like the battle I'm currently going through with my 90.

The 80 series +3 rears and +5 fronts. You need the gwyn lewis turrets and rear mounts

[pommy]

Already have the gwyn lewis front turrets and rear mounts so will be needing pin to pin shocks front and back

APT in Brisbane sells Fox shocks.

So no one else used these shocks ? They get good reviews in the UK

Nugget of Nugget Stuff had OMEs on his 130 last time I saw him. He has a thread in Member's Rides with a lot of information.

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?

[nugge t]

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.


Cheers

Thanks mate I think I am going to give them a try and see what happens
