whats a better safer and stronger option with shock mods

**HAK** · 28th August 2007, 08:35 AM

Hi all

Ive got all my parts order for my suspension set up except shocks and bump stops

I'm going with Bilstein shocks after a lot of thought,

I have two option with of the shelf bilstein shock made for the disco 2 with 2 inch lift which are $460 a pair

Option one is to use these shocks as is and lower the shock mounts by buying front Shock Turrets-2 inch Lowered and 2 inch Lowered rear top shock mount

and

Option two have the guys mod the bilsteins for a 4 inch lift that will cost me $200 a pair

what to do

funny enough having the shocks modified is the cheaper option but what to do

Have you sourced these as I am thinking of doing something similar to my front and keeping my Bilsteins on the front. Running Pedders on the rear (along with 40mm raised king springs - retained) which have about 650mm travel from memory so rear is fine (although Pedders do not handle well and mean I run my polyairs slightly harder thaan needed, to try and gain more control on road - will fix later

)

Keen to hear wht you end up doing as I will be changing my set up again soon........never ends does it

Your right, they differ from shock to shock, but you can easily get the right diametre bush made up - 14mm hole is what you are after i believe although somone may correct me.
Keep me posted as you go but to add confusion, have you thought about chopping down the front shock tower?
