How do you go for the nitrogen when adjusting them?

That's what stopped me from getting them.

Tony,

Graeme Cooper's:

Had Bilsteins and Polyair Bags fitted last week (Sydney Suspensions , Princes Hwy), what a difference (OEM shocks previously). Love the feel, handling has improved noticeably. I have the impression (rightly or wrongly) that the ACE loves them, as I am back to that 'cornering on rails feel' we had when new.

Cheers

Mark

Stick a remote can with a floating piston on a twin tube and it will equal a mono-tube in this area (OME LTR anyone https://www.aulro.com/afvb/

Does anybody have any experience with the XGS shocks that TJM advertised recently? The ads seemed to disappear suddenly. They seemed to have the goods to be a decent unit.

Great forum. I've only just gotten a fast connection out here, enjoy hearing other Rover experiences.

I had 3 goes at gas pressures but just run them at 100 psi constant now.

Almost every "Bob Jane" has Nitrogen nowadays :wink:

But personally, set them up and forget them....

Now Rick130 for my question, how old were the LTRs that faded?
Front or rear? What pressures were you running? And where were you and how long had u been driving and how much load/speed etc....

OME released a new valving for the rears some time ago (I know, I was the development tester https://www.aulro.com/afvb/ ) Much better than the older version.

Cheers
Mike

They are a Copak shock from Brazil, not bad for the $$$, but cheaper from Terrain Tamer and identical shock :wink:

I think it is the same place - that is certainly the address (same side of the road as Graeme Cooper's and further South).

They list themselves in the yellow pages as Sydney Suspensions.
