Tony,

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

I did !

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

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've just gone dual LTRs, but more because I can than I need to... And I just like to fiddle around with rates etc....

How do you go for the nitrogen when adjusting them?

That's what stopped me from getting them.

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 ) Much better than the older version.

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