Bloodyaussie's muddy woes

[Bloodyaussie]

Had them on my D22 up front. They did what they are intended to do, that being a shock absorber. After them being installed for about 10k on the car, I started them on 3 as my optimum setting, I kept having to turn it up a notch every month or so, as they became way too soft. I got up to setting 7 at which point the car sold so... That was my experience.

So you would not reccomened them mate????

What are those Rancho RS9000 adjusable shocks like?????

Junk Jonathan. Sorry mate.

How much are you ok to spend mate? that will really determine if you looking for something for a couple of years or longer?

Buy the best that you can with what you have mate. What size lift do you have mate?

[Bloodyaussie]

I have a budget of about $250-$350 on average...... I sit on a 2inch lift with 1 inch spacers (dont say anything).

YOu should be able to get a pair of good quality units for $350 mate? Call ARB and find out the price on a pair of Nitro charger sports?

in the ARB price list i have here the Nitro Charger Sport are priced at $623 for a set of 4! so go buy just 2 rears.

Thanks Daz while I am out working tomorrow I will sneak past ARB thomastown... one of the blokes there looks after me, he was at Tallarook last Sunday and I saw him just before I damaged my rig.

Actually he might charge me more as he told me to stop telling people about Tallarook as he does not want any one going there!!!!

Get some rebuildable shock. Buy them once. If the crap out, put a seal kit through it.

I personally wouldn't buy them again. As I said they were good when they work. But the issue being, they get softer, and having to turn them up on certain intervals, what happens when you get to highest setting?
