Behalwe OME watter ander shocks

[Spartan]

Net so vir spangees watter shocks behalwe OME beveel julle manne aan?

[Mud Dog]

Bilstein ..... if you can afford them.

[BlumTRD]

TJM . Eish bietjan duur .

[Spartan]

Maar wie in SA verkoop dit want op hulle site se hulle verkoop nie aan die public nie en hoeveel is baie duur?

[Toybox]

If you really wanna blow cash get yourself a set of Fox shocks. Send Ronald at TAC a mail, he can source them for you...

[BlumTRD]

TJM - La sport (2 shocks , extra long R2300 met afslag vir die wat ek op het) Bilstein (Mikem - dink op hul website , adverteer hul dit ) nie seker oor prys .

[BlumTRD]

wil also consider - Rancho shocks (snake racing , la sport ) also a place in Verwoerdburg but not sure about the name . Wil have a look .

[hentey]

Jaco ,soos ek verstaan kan die bilsteins oorgedoen word,wat dit natuurlik n voorsprong bo die ander klomp gee,maar die vraag is dan weer teen watter prys kan dit oorgedoen word.As iemand daai somme kan maak,dan kan mens mos n ingeligte besluit maak.Is daar iemand wat weet?

[MORNE]

Ek het Koni's op my D/cab 2002 model ek dit is n plesier om op n grondpad te ry.Ek het baie minder bodyroll ook.

[Mud Dog]

Koni's are also good. Older Monroe's were OK but don't trust the latest ones since I believe they were bought out by Armstrong some time ago.

Hi Guys.

The Bilsteins are excellent shocks as they have the gas in a seperate chamber keeping the oil under constant pressure so no foaming or cavities in the shock because of foaming.The shocks react to any oscilliation in the road keeping the wheel on the ground at all times.With regards to quality,safety and performance there is no better shock in my opinion.The shocks all bilstein B6 sport range are servicable units meaning if a seal goes anything does happen it can be replaced here in JHB by bilstein so its great value for your money you can also change the valve settings on the shock itself to make the shock harder or softer so the options one can utilize are great with regards to this product average unit price is R1850 each excl vat.

Bilstein have been 'up there' with the front runners as long as I can remember, but my heart bleeds at that price. I have often wondered about how we motorists are being exploited in terms of premium products. After all the intrinsic value, including amortised design costs cannot be more than ¼ of that price ... leaving the rest to profits of manufacturer and handlers. Still too much.

Ou maat
nou wie is jy edit bietjie jou profile la ons ook weet wie is jy en wa kom jy. Ok kwaai, nou hoeveel lig die geitte jou bakkie of bestel jy hoeveel maar soos ek verstaan as jy verby 3" gaan dan is daar goed wat gedoen moet word op die steering en links en en en, en doen hulle die veerpak ook soos OME en wat kos daai troue as jy dit kan doen. Ek het gekyk na die Black Hawks wat goed is op die oog maar seker nie op die sak nie. En jy sê hulle is in Joburg.

Jaco, shocks do not add lift to the suspension (unless they are gas riders coupled up to a compressor). Very basically, the function of the shocks is to absorb the momentum of the unsprung weight (both upward and downward). The speed and distance of travel are reduced, helping to keep the wheel in contact with the ground. Body rock and body roll are controlled. Without shocks the vehicle will pitch and roll violently on an undulating surface (off-road). Shocks also determine the length of outward travel allowed on the wheel / axle.
Suspension lifts (springs) and body lifts give you a raised ride.

Ek sal daai gaan soek op die net en vir julle hier pos want ek het dit oor lunch tyd gelees en toe het ek ook gedink dit klink snaaks, maar sal dit gaan soek.

Sorry dit was nie Bilstein nie maar wat ek hier sien lyk vir my of die shock die ding doen, kyk na die Rocho shocks

Kubus is seker nie die beste skokbreker nie maar ek is baie tevrede en hulle het al 47 000km gedoen

Niel

Jy moet daai shocks net geel verf dan is hulle al klaar baie beter

[Spartan]

Ek het van hulle op my bull-nose single cab gehad, hoop geld betaal so in 2006 maar kan nou nie se die was so wow nie maar was ook nie bad nie. Op die Morrokweng pad na Vorstershoop toe het ek met hulle en all my stopsels uit geskud, nou weet ek nie of dit die pad wat swak was of die shocks nie. Ek moet ook se ek het nie n vrag op gehad nie en ek het hom so verkoop met die Kubus en all

Amstrong and Monroe were always manufactured by the same company. They just stopped producing the Amstrong brand (which I believe was the cheaper ones)

Monroe has a better warranty then Gabriel on platkar shocks. Same company that does Rancho as well. Philip from Tenaco is actually a member here.

[ThysdJ]

Kaspaas loop met 'n stel Monroe shocks wat al meer as 50 000 km op die klok het en daar is nog geen probleme met hulle nie. Hulle het die Kgalagadi se corrugations mooi ge-handle laasjaar. Ek is baie tevrede en hulle is nie te dronk geprys nie.

Ok so then I must have been misinformed (or got the story twisted :D ).
Whatever, it's as you said the other day ... "never too old to learn".
Thanks.

Koni, Rancho,s , Procomp, Ironman. NET NIE OME OPSIT NIE !

Hi Jaco

In my opinion, none of us has the money to buy a range of shocks to fit to our vehicles and compare which one is the best. So after the guys have spent the money and fitted new shocks or suspension kits to their vehicles and im sure all see a big improvement, they will usually say those are the best and are real good shocks.
Having said that, ive recently fitted my KZTE with an iron man suspension kit, blades,torsion bars,shocks etc.
Ive definately felt a big improvement in road handling and much less body roll.I had 50mm plus increase in clearance which i measured before and after from top of wheel to wheel arch.
Overall im very happy with Iron Man. One interesting thing is, if you compare the Iron Man shocks to the OME, they are the same thing, one white and the other yellow, and as far as i know they are both made in Australia.
The choice is yours, i must say it is a difficult descision to make, but at the end of the day it is what you can comfortably afford.
Good luck.
Ian

Ek het 'n stel Camil's op wat nou reeds 6 trips deur Angola gedoen het sonder enige probleme.
Ek hou ook van die 'springload' wat verstel kan word.

As gevolg van laasgenoemde, verhoog hulle die ry-hoogte met ongeveer 1"
