Ironman or OME for y60?

[White Elephant]

Hey!
I am planning to install a 2" lift kit on my 1990 swb y60. But i am not sure if i should buy OME or Ironman. I hope that someone have some viewpoints and can help me with my decision!

A mate of mine put a 2" Ironman kit through his GQ shorty and it was awesome. Ironman is pretty good bang for your buck, but as Tony says OME are generally considered top quality, but you have to pay for them.

Thank you for your responses guys, seems like a great forum! I will probably go for the OME kit. I will try witout the steering damper first and see if i need that too.. Hopefully i will get some 33" tires on the car aswell

Definitely go for the ome mate and if you fit 33' tires I would fit a return to center steering stabiliser.

I recommend the OME kit. I have it on my Y60, and mounted it on a earlier K160. But order the Medium kit..it's better suited for everyday use...after a while you can take out the angelgriner and cut out a little, and suddenly you may fit 38"s like the one's I'm driving on.. =P
It's a little more than that....but rock on!!!

I just installed OME 2" coils and Ironman foam cell shocks and damper and am pretty impressed with the ride both on and off road......

Thanks for all the answers dudes! I guess medium OME is the one to get I am planning on mounting a winch and a winch bar aswell, maybe i should buy another stifness on the front springs?

I drive a new Isuzu D-Max at work, and there they have mounted OME hard springs and shocks in the back...and in the front there still original...that's not a good setup!!
My opinion is that you ruining the cars geometry...! It feels strange running around corners...and it loves to drift..!! hahaha....it's fun....SOMETIMES!!

[AdrianY60]

Haha, that sounds kind off cool! where did u buy your OME setup, waxfraq? And which stifness is it?

Listen to most your responces OME all the way over Ironman. Two of my mates cheaped out for Ironman and both regretted it. Thats 100% of fitments I have seen... shot. The first his shocks where the foam cell on a BT50, it bounced in the rear like it had none. The second mate had the springs in a Prado, they where uprated for all the gear and with out the gear on the truck yet sagged 1.5" in three weeks. No one wanted to know him either, reckon that all springs will sag and it was normal. I have done 75000km's on my Dobinsons and they have lost 17mm.
