Thread: Superior engineering remote res

I’ve had a set on the front of my 110defer for six ish months. I did go to the trouble of actually measuring mount to mount with spring fully compressed and full droop.

I run them on setting one which probably means the valving needs or the 130 spring are too stiff.

No leaks to date and seem to do the job.

I’ll purchase a set for the rear and at the same time convert to pin to pin.

I've only heard good things about them.
Dobinson's also make RRS which might be worth comparing.

Hey Mate,

I have had the Superior remote res shocks on my 130 for 15 months. I've done about 30,000k's on them, 3000ish on fast dirt roads, a fair bit of semi-technical 4wd trails, 5000ish towing an 18ft caravan on road and the rest mainly unloaded on road.
I am very happy with them overall, especially for the money.

I bought them from APT with their flexicoils. APT revalved them, I run them on 5 front, 4 rear, unloaded and up the rear a click or two when loaded. The only issue was the front shocks supplied had a closed length that reduced up travel to just over 25mm which meant that I had to fit plus 1 inch shock towers rather then use the ones I paid APT for.

Cheers,
Stan.

thanks for the replies everyone , I'm looking forward to giving them a go .

Dobinson will be releasing RRS with adjustable comp and rebound in a month. About same price as SE which are only adjustable compression
