    Which should I choose ?

    Need some help or advice, and I know this is a personal choice....

    Pedders vs Old Man Emu

    I'm looking to replace the springs and dampers on my GR/GU Shortie, I don't want to lift it, just replace the sagging original bits, they old, corroded, and about to die. So was going to change both F&R, but here in the UK, I can only get the 2 brands.

    Which is the "better"

    OME better in my opinion, I've had both and the Pedders were not as good as what my new OME ones are. You will pay more for OME but it's worth it I reckon.

    OME in a heart beat. No bad choices there I don't think, have not read a bad thing about Pedders but the OME is fair dinkum top rate gear. You won't know yourself.

    The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

    Just another option for you.
    It is now official, we are not quite so sh@t at cricket as we were! Rugby Union is a different matter.

    OME in front of Iron Man without question. they are simply not on the same page fracster, if he can get the OME at a good price then its the winner for sure. No Comparison. IMO

    Fair comment mate, just letting him know that "some" other stuff is available over here,nothing like the selection you guys have though.

    I'm also one for OME 2" lift, very happy with my second hand bargains
