ungas, boybi
ang sabi sa akin ride ng RS5000 ay setting number 3 ng RS9000
sir boybi may mini review ako dito
RS5000 nasa page 2 yata yung mini review
and may i add, ngayon naka ranchoRS5000 na ako sa fronts,
soft and comfortable ride, and handling improved

so ano kaya mas ok? bilstein or rancho5000?

boybi::: Dipende mo yan sa gusto nyong kalalabasan ng ride quality na gusto nyo. At kung papalarin na may available stock para sa sasakyan. Mabigat ang GVW ng Safari baka hindi rin tumagal ang RS5000. Kung sa Bilstein naman baka di nyo magustuhan ng stiff settings.

ganito nalang. kaya bang maging katulad ng patrol ang suspension ng trooper 4x2? kapag kasi sakay ko mga uncle/aunts, byenan ko or mga hipag ko, tapos medyo pangit yung daan, especially sa nlex, although hindi naman nila sinasabi, nafi-feel ko na nagrereklamo sila inside. :oops:

you can't compare the Bilstein sa RS5000, the Bilstein is way above its league (pls. no flames) the maybe you can compare the RS9000 with the Bilstein.

what i observe about the RS5000 is that it is a bit hard, maybe because it is designed for american type suspension settings which is really soft like floating, so to get more control and better handling you install rancho to stiffen it a bit.

we compared putting RS5000 on two gen1 pajero's one USDM one local, the local was hard riding, and the USDM performed really good.

and is there an exact part number RS5000 for the Patrol in their catalog?

BILSTEIN was calibrated for handling and control, yet is not harsh in road imperfections (pot holes, any kind of holes for that matter :mrgreen: ) . A perfect damper!!! :D

I thought my RS9000 was already okay with my paj until I tried Bilstein. Hell, the Bilstein in my BMW is far better than the stock BMW shocks which in the first place is already good .

woodfire, hindi ba parang nanginginig paj nyo sa bilstein sa mga rough roads?

Yung RS5000 is too soft for a loaded mid-size SUV like the Trooper. It is better suited to SWB's and other lighter vehicles. I think overheating ang problem niya. Lumalambot siya agad when running through rough terrain. Madali mapagod.

But nothing beats Bilstein talaga. hehehe.
