Thread: Shockers

OME shocks through ARB, get the standard shocks, not sports if you want a comfort style ride

Neglected to mention i have King springs 2" over to assist with the 265/75/16 tyres installed thanks for the answer.

The OME are fine with a 2" longer spring. Should have said if you want it to handle like it is on rails and get rid of the body roll go the Sport Shocks

Not sure what i want really but sick of rocking and rolling with the original shocks they are blown i'm sure. Have had two Disco's and three Nissans they all rode a deam compared to this unit.

It may be cheaper for you to have the Bilstiens revalved if you alrady have them. It could well cost not much less than getting a shocker rebuilt. So on here have had experience with revalving Bilstiens, try either JustinC or one of the D2 pilots around here (their name escapes me at the moment, do a search on revalving bilstiens)

Frank, the bilstiens are too hard if you have EAS, seen as you don't they will be fine, or try Koni.

I disagree. I had been told the same thing by someone else who never tried them.

I recently fitted Bilsteins to my EAS P38A and am very happy with the ride. If anything, at first it seemed a bit too soft and floaty on the motorway - I think due to the gas pressure assisting the EAS.

At US$395 (plus postage) for 4 I can't complain at all!

Sorry Ron thats what i meant, i have read that they were to hard for EAS when i was researching aftermarket bags for my LSE. Seen as Frank is on coils, the bilstiens will be fine anyway.
