Guys,

For my 02 Trooper sana... also which should I change first? Front or rear? thanks

**pajerokid** · September 19th, 2003 01:38 PM

all four agad!

They have different shock abosorbing capabilities, better change it on all four corners.

BILSTEIN!!!

yup all fours na!
ungas is the best man to answer that kasi dati OME yan ngayon naka Bilstein na siya.

Teka... naalala ko gusto pala ni mdpo pillow like ride. I would like to change my preference, better stick with KYB liquid type shocks para malambot.

OME shocks are soft but firmer than stocks, while Bilstein are much firmer than OME.

From soft stage-to-firm brands:
Stock -> KYB liquid -> Trailmaster -> Rancho -> OME -> Bilstein

Light Duty shocks ng OME OK din. Self-adjusting siya. Pag highway, you will feel like gliding at pag malubak naman, the shocks get firm. Yung stock na KYB (ng Vitara) sobra tagtag -- sasakit ang katawan mo lalo na kung speeding ka sa NLEX.

Thumbs ako sa OME.

No comment on Bilstein -- never ko pa nasubukan yun.

Teka... now I am confused :confused: here's my preferences with regards my decision which shock to choose.
1. Ride para di matagtag
2. Control on cornering during fast speed

Ang sa akin lang naman kasi as of present natatagtagan kami sa likod specially when I am cruising at hi-speed tapos uneven road surfaces.. ramdam na ramdam ko yung irregularities ng road.

Edit: Ooooopppsss!!! My mistake, clicked the wrong button. I was supposed to quote what you wrote, instead I clicked the edit button. My bad... :dead:

I recommend OME. Suave and versatile.

You can't have the best of both worlds, soft shock absorbers will have more body rolls. While control on cornering can only be achieved with stiffer components.

Di ba sila nagmemeet sa middle?? hehehe hirap naman nito... I guess medyo mahirap magcompare ng dalawa. Ganito nalang

OME VS STOCK(rate 1-5, 5 being the highest)
1. Ride para di matagtag
2. Control on cornering during fast speed

BILSTEINS VS STOCK(rate 1-5, 5 being the highest)
1. Ride para di matagtag
2. Control on cornering during fast speed
