    Yes, ride improved on my Prado even with just the shocks. I'm not sure if the coils will do a lot to improve the ride, coz I was told it was just going to affect the ride height, and not the quality.

    Yes, it should improve the ride quality by improving body control. There was a guy who upgrade his Exped's shocks to Bilstein before and the wallowing effect was gone. But he also said it wasn't harsh.

    I doubt if they are for 'porma' since you can hardly see them [even in their loud yellow color].

    It made the ride of our former LC77 really good but I can't compare to stock since the unit was already on OME's when we got it.

    OME shocks are better than stock, yun nga lang parang masyado namang malambot because nag wallow left and right yung everest ko pag rough roads.

    Tagtag is still there....but blunt rather than sharp. For me....sulit.

    Hehe! I'd think so, but I don't want my Prado to get taller. ;)

    i have a 01 patrol and changed the shocks and coil springs to OME. the ride is definitely better and softer. when the mechanics at the nissan casa test drove my patrol after its PMS and checkups, they commented that the ride is very soft even compared to the newer patrol models
