    meron po bang available na adjustable shocks for a 2005 Patrol na pwedeng ichange yung damping via a cabin module. something similar sa set-up ng pajero.

    if heard way to many complaints about having an awfully stiff ride. I was wondering if I could do anything about it.

    tnx!

    Just buy a good all around shock absorber that works well in different load and road conditions like OME and Bilstein. Why bother with adjustments? Added complexity lang.

    Yung sa Pajero kahit may adjustment, kapag pinalitan ng non-adjustable OME or Bilstein, mas maganda pa din ang ride kaysa dun sa stock. Ang mahal pa ng stock shocks ng Pajero. Walong libo ang isa! Yikes!

    anybody here has a ballpark figure on how much bilsteins are going for these days?

    kaso medyo aliw pa rin yung idea na pwede kang mag-adjust ng damping from the driver's seat.

    Dati nasa Php5k/ea ang Bilsteins na pang-SUV (mas mahal ang pang-kotse).

    yung pajero gen2.5 namin halos minimal lang nagbabago when you change from soft to hard setting. tama si sir otep mag ome or bilstein ka nalang, yung everest ko naka ome and malaki ang nilambot sa ride compared sa stock

    Yung sa Field Master hindi na din adjustable ang pinalagay ko when the shocks leaked.

    Wala namang nakapansin na hindi na adjustable yung shocks.

    Changed ours to OME per advise by our fellow tsikoteers.... Handling is superb... pero ride is noticeably stiffer than the OEM adjustable shocks... Mas gusto ko pa ngaun ang Medium setting ng leaking OEM shocks namin kesa sa ngaun....

    OT: which means bakit kaya di masyado maganda tong OME na nilagay sa amin (the ones worth 5.5k????)

    common na observation yan, since the old shocks were shot they rode nicer than the OME's, that is because they cant dampen the suspension, just installed one set of OME's in fieldmaster also with rear coils and the owner thanked us for a more controlled, better handling and better riding rig. in fact he has 32" tires with 17" rims na M/t's.

    ARB,

    Re OME: I'm wondering though why you are recommending that I change my front 2 shocks first rather than the rears first (Isuzu DMAX)?

    Please enlighten. Thanks.
