suspension upgrade for patrol

[boybi]

boybi::: Yung patrol has solid axles front and rear and all four corners are equipped with coils. If you aren't satisfied with the ride, given that you already deflated your tires to the minimum pressure, its time you gave the shocks people a visit. Popular ang Old Man Emu (OME) shocks as well as Ranchos. Yung sakin, OME Nitrochargers nakakabit... malabot talaga and very noticeable ang difference..... well worth the 16thou.





..........and while youre at it, magpakabit ka na rin ng steering damper :D your suspension parts will thank you for it :D

talaga bang lalambot ang ride? sabi kasi ni sir Ungas baka lalong tumigas dahil bago pa ang shocks.

[Ungas]

Boss boybi::: May tendency po maging comfortable yung ride nyo. Nagpakabit na po ako ng bagong coils and shocks. Medyo tumigas but the ride is better, di na masyadong bouncy like the stocks. :D

ser boybi::: yung sakin po lumambot yung ride :D i cant recall if the ride went firm at first.

[boybi]

now i'm confused. sir Ungas, pano naging better ang ride kung tumigas sya? :roll:

ano palang nangyari bakit ang dami atang napost? pano ba mag erase? o kaya mga mods paki erase nalang mga duplicate posts. tnx. :mrgreen:

[pajerokid]

aaaaaaaaahhhh :mrgreen: Yung kay ungas kasi sobrang bouncy coz laspagation na ang shocks nyang luma. so, improvement sa kanya nung naging firm. But if you compare them to stock, definitely mas malambot! :mrgreen:

[boybi]

so would you suggest na papalit ko shocks ko to OME or Rancho? which is better ba?

[OTEP]

boybi,

Kaya po masarap sakyan kahit firmer ang damping settings ng shocks at springs ay dahil mas mataas po ang level of control and lessened ang unecessary movements. Tignan mo yung mga BMW, ang titigas ng suspension pero mas masarap sakyan kaysa sa mga softer-sprung Japanese subcompacts. Kasi pagtama ng bump, absorb agad without wallowing tapos balik agad sa normal position. Controlled ang compression AS WELL AS extension. Most stock suspensions only work well in one direction (usually compression).

[Ungas]

It all depends what you may want to call on "better ride". For me, I prefer stiffer ride for more control. Some may opt for smoother, bouncy soft rides which has more roll when making turns. :D



Well said pajerokid, :mrgreen: Laspag na talaga yung shocks ko, as in STUCK in stocks. Ngalay pa yung mga coils, that's why I posted earlier it has bouncy ride. Para akong nakasakay sa tsubibo nasa maalon na tubig. :mrgreen:

[boybi]

so which is better, OME or Rancho? and ang dami atang klaseng Ranchos? ano yun from 1000 to 9000?

[mdpo]

guys,

what's the use of steering damper? what's the advantages of having one installed? Meron bang ganito for trooper?

thanks
