Hi guys,
I'm still confused about which suspension I should go for... The more I search / research and read other posts on various forums, the more confused I get...
I've almost decided on OME until I heard of a few guys recently that have issues with their OME shocks leaking oil in less than a year since fitted!!!
I was also thinking about the new foamies from IM (cheaper), but have heard and seen worse things about the IM's (Nitro Gas) especially how badly they rust in less than 6mths...with the only reply from the suppliers being "IM are not made for the high salt volumes of UK roads"
Currently I'm considering Koni shocks with Lovell or OME springs, but not sure what the effect of different spring/shock combinations will have...
In what I've read the past year I've come to the conclusion that in Aus/SA this is the preferred order:
1.) Bilstein/Lovell or
2.) Koni/King or
3.) Bilstein/King and
4.) OME all round
5.) Tough dog all round
6.) EFS/King
Planning a trans-Africa trip kicking off at the end of 2012 so I need something that is dependable, durable and available for purchase in the UK ofcourse.
Your thoughts please..!?
