    Hey macca. So what shocks do you recommend?

    I sometimes wonder why we're not keen to name names. Is that just pc or us the a risk in doing that?

    Kast, I would not recommend any brand or model of a brand as all our needs are different.

    The high end Konis are supposed to be the best for outback rough tracks but how do the perform in the bush near the coast?

    I have ToughDogs, Ralph on the front and BigBore Adjustable on the rear. At $ 550.00 a pair they are expensive. I met a guy on the ABH in 2010 who had done 300000klm on out back adventures and swore by them.

    On our recent trip a 75 series had BlueMax that are supposed to be made in the same factory as or are rebranded ToughDogs. It pogoed on any whoop-de-doos or moguls and one did fail.

    Mine did not behave like those and are still working fine.

    They may well be made in the same factory. You could use a comparison as the base Commodore and the SS out of a GMH factory, different specs.... that was what my previous comment was about.
    Cheers
    Macca
