    Performance-wise, ano ang pipiliin ninyo? Rancho RS9000 o OME?

    OME for me.. although i have not tried the Ranchos yet... I drove an LC with the OMEs and i'd say it really did perform well in the damping department.

    Whats the cost for a set of OMEs nowadays? 20+K more or less?

    sirs, thanks sa reviews. Pang onroad or offroad ba ang OME? Oks ba ito sa roads with uneven surfaces.....tipong parang may maliliit na humps. Sama kasi ng highway d2 sa amin sa probinsiya.

    Any rancho rs9000x users? Post naman kayo ng reviews...

    I'm using Rancho rs5000 which is fine for highway and rural/gravel roads. If you haven't modified your suspension for off-road use then rs5000 will do.

    What's your vehicle and do you carry a lot of load?

    I have RS5000 on our Starex ride with stock settings, they are great for city and rough roads handling. Soft and comfortable ride.

    My Safari settings are complete OME suspension upgrade. Imo, they are stiff for onroad driving but works great during offroad adventures!




    If anyone's interested, I'm selling my 2 front light-medium duty coils for Nissan Safari for only 5K. :D

    For dampers, I junked my OME for RS9000's on all fours of my pick-up and pajero. For the springs, go for OME or Dobinson. For bushings, go for Energy.

    KIMPOY:: Sir, I read ur review about rancho sa kabilang thread. Ang ride ko po ay strada din 2002 model. Same size po ba ang ating mga shocks? Bakit po nagpafabricate pa kayo ng shackles? Wala po bang rancho na exact size ng stock shock absorbers natin? By the way, ganda po ng inyong bumper....

    Salamat po sa lahat na nag-post ng reviews

    how much mga ome or rs9000 for best ride comfort on a paj SWB? kasi yung akin may switch pang lift ng kaha(not the SMH...mga 2inch lift pag i turn it on...sabi daw nila sa shocks daw yun...so if i buy the ome or rs9000 mawawala ba tong feature na to?

    ps. am not sure kung sa shocks tlga yung switch na yun pang lift...ok kasi pag higher road clearance and baha...plus ok cornering pag nakababa=)

    mangyan,

    Off-roader si kimpOy, kaya pina-lift niya Strada.

    Maki,

    Wala bang air suspension Pajero mo? Kung sa a/s iyan, it will still work even with new shocks.

    Jaycrew,

    province ko sir ay Mindoro. paminsan-minsan bumibisita sa Metro. Baka i-try ko na lang ang Rats sa Katipunan or Ride-Banawe, mas malapit sa amin sa QC. Nag-inquire na ako ng RS9000x sa Monroe mktg. Quote nila sa akin ay P5980*. Kaso front lang ang available.
