mmmm "Range Rover wagon 72 - 92" Thats me.. but a full 4"...

can you PM a fairly close price for a set? :)

[rovercare]

Pin-pin and eye-pin?

Open closed lengths?

Cost?

Obviously long enough to require repositioning shock mounts?

[philco]

I will post the open closed lengths tomorrow.
These shocks should fit the same configuration as your standard pin, eye configuration, its just they are 4 inches long not 2 inches or standard length.
I would expect some modification to arms, castor's etc etc etc for such a high lift,
but just think of the looks you will get from the jappers as their mouths drop open and their drool runs down their chin! as you pull up beside them at the lights!
I dont know if can post price, but here goes.
$400 a set of 4 (2 rear 2 front)
east coast P+P$30
Darwin N.T,Perth W.A, Tasmania, P+P$85
PM me if you are interested

In addition to what Rovercare said,

Also, who is the manufacturer???

Also, are you sure that either it has a 2.5mm wall, or that its montube, not twin shell???

[philco]

due to the price and deal from my supplier i am not able to name them.
They are Australian Manufacturers and it is definitely twin tube.
The problem is if i disclose the manufacturers then it rubs the people they supply up the wrong way. and that would cause a lot of problems for the market here.
I thought i could do favour for the rover family here and offer these to everyone at a good price without you having to pay 30 to 50% more for a brand name.
The parts are available to rebuild them at a later date if they ever need to be rebuilt so they are not a lemon or dud or an asian import that is a 1 night wonder.
I am a Land rover owner and i want to look out for those i deal with in our rover family, Anything i sell i will sell to Landrover club members will be at a discounted price cause if i look after you then you will look after me. I will stand by the products i sell and make sure everyone gets a fair go.
I know i am new here so the only thing i can say is "try me"
Cheers Phil

The extended length of the rears are approx 4" greater than stock, but the working stroke is approx 2" greater.

The extended length of the fronts are approx 2-1/2" longer than stock, but the working stroke is approx 1-1/2" greater.

Where were the measurements taken from ?
base of pin or centre of pin ?

(Koni and Bilstein measure from the base of the pin, Rancho from the centre of the bush, obviously all manufacturers measure from the centre of the eye.)

[rick130]

Methinks I've worked out what they are, maybe.

[philco]

Measured from base of pin to centre of eye and base of pin to base of pin,
Castor Kits are available for radius offset arm bushes $205.00 plus shipping
and 2 inch lifted shocks are available for $160.00 a pair front
$160.00 for rear.

[long stroke]

I'm interested.

[Xavie]

me also.

[Baffle]

Philco, I pm,d again

[long stroke]

Hi Philco:)
I should be receiving my disco in the next week or so and i was just wondering if you could fit these shocks without a bodylift??
I was thinking a 2" or maybe 3" coil lift but i am worried that if i do so they won't have enough up traval;)
I'm on a tight budget so can't aford to buy for the next few months.

CHEERS TIM.

hi Tim, I was talking to my mechanic today and asked same question, he said it would be no problem with a 2 inch lift spring as it is close to standard compressed and it would only extend as far as the springs will allow so won't over extend the shock. hope this answers your question.

Thanks mate:)
I was thinking that if the shock keeps extending as the car flexes more the spring might pop out if not retained:eek: so you might have to tie the springs in then fab up some dislocating cones;)
What do you think??

CHEERS TIM.

[philco]

That is a good idea as the spring will fully extend before the shock.
I saw a British competition disco that was in the outback challenge and was featured in the 4wd action magazine a couple of years ago with cones fitted to it that had great articulation and the springs were seated really well by the cones. it could be a better way than fixing the springs permanently. Just an idea

[philco]

You sold 5 sets in 12hr 12mins??:eek:

[Tombie]

According to my measurements...

Front shock your offering is only 0.300" longer than an OME for a 2" Lift

And the rear is only 0.900" longer than an OME for a 2" Lift.


Neither is a 4" extended shock..

All of them will need raised mounts, which will reduce drop travel to same as an OME (or equiv) otherwise they WILL top out under compression.

AND all will require a longer spring / retained coil / cone set up or they will dislocate under full drop.


Also, Theres No Way the valving for a......

110 Country wagon 84 - 91 petrol & wagon
110 Defender 94 - 98
130 Defender 94 - 99
110 Td5 99 - 01
Discovery JG wagon 91 - 99
Range Rover wagon 72 - 92

Are the same.....

Get your spring rates mismatched and they'll ride horrible...

I'm curious why you wont post the brand....
Do buyers get a Tax invoice for warranty purposes?
What warranty is offered (In writing)?

And sorry I dont believe that an Australian made, rebuildable shock, is available for $100.00...

[philco]

Thanks for your post Tombie, they come with a standard factory repair/replacement on faulty workmanship, Same as any other brand on the market. They are a canceled order for a European Customer that my supplier ended up with. They are a one off deal but the back up service is the same as any other shock they supply. I send a receipt from my business for the purchase of the shocks to the purchaser.
I am a legitimate business and we usually do other types of products from China and the U.S.A. through online sales and Retail outlets.
The Shocks and the measurements have been supplied to me from a Brisbane Manufacturer that has been in business for the last 20 years making and installing Suspension and drive lines for vehicles all over Australia Europe, and North America.
They asked me not to openly use their name as they supply a lot of other brand name companies with their products.
I don't think i need to destroy the relationship i have with them foolishly doing the opposite to what they asked, as i would like to be able to sell more stock from them in the future for my customers, whether it be their name or my own brand.
If you would like to ask me any thing else please don't hesitate to call me 0423759779 Phil, and i will do my best to answer any other questions you may have.:)

[philco]

All these shocks are gone now. I will not be able to supply these again as they were a cancelled order and a one off. I am able to supply special order shocks but will be price on application. Will update on other Specials I am able to do for the members of the forum. cheers Phil

[procrastination inc]

phil, nice job mate :)

[philco]

Thanks pro, I do back my products with factory warranty, so should never be a problem with them.

Never recieved a PM, although likely would of been when my subscription here ran out, which left my PM box thingy as overfull

Not a bag out, I usually post all info as per factual

I shall contact you when I can have another look, as I'm working away from home, it had leaked a great deal of oil down the shock body, but has not appeared to of failed completely and dried last I checked,, maybe the seal has taken up, or it had overheated, when I have a chance I'll drop the shock and check it out, be sometime in the xmas period

[philco]

Rovercare, thank you for your reply, i await your call over the christmas period as my phone is usually on.
I am always happy to look after my customers as best as possible.
This is the first time i have had a failure from the many shocks i have sold.
Regards Phil
