OME VS Bilsteins

**mdpo** · September 19th, 2003 01:34 PM

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!

**Ungas** · September 19th, 2003 01:40 PM

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

BILSTEIN!!!

**kimpOy** · September 19th, 2003 01:47 PM

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

**Ungas** · September 19th, 2003 01:54 PM

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

**Ungas** · September 19th, 2003 04:34 PM

OME VS STOCK(rate 1-5, 5 being the highest)
1. Ride para di matagtag (4)
2. Control on cornering during fast speed (3)

BILSTEINS VS STOCK(rate 1-5, 5 being the highest)
1. Ride para di matagtag (3)
2. Control on cornering during fast speed (5)

Rates based on aftermarket brands. Another thing to consider is the original spring stiffness. And overall vehicle weight, plus weight distribution factor. :D

Guys,

Yung ome pala may soft and stiff rin pala iba ang part no. just happen to surf over the web. Anyone knew the address or location of rats in alabang? kasi sa libis di ba di ok. kung may tel# the better.

Do i also have to change the coils? what's the purpose of changing the coils?

thanks

**Bubbles** · September 19th, 2003 11:46 PM

mdpo sa katipunan ok din para di ka na lalayo. sa alabang naman its among the car shops sa tabi ng simbahan near filinvest.

**mdpo** · September 20th, 2003 06:09 PM

bubbles: sa may katipunan is that the one along C-5? sino kaya pwede makausap dun? baka you can refer someone to be able to get a good price.

thanks

**mdpo** · September 20th, 2003 06:12 PM

Guys,

One more thing there is firm and comfort variations for this shocks. ARB gave me the part no. for these and as i see it the shock he recommend is firm on the front and comfortable on the rear. Will there be any difference If I used comfortable on both front and rear? or it will be too soft already? (boatlike ride?)

Hows the funrun???

thanks.

**boybi** · September 21st, 2003 01:06 AM

kung 4x2 ang trooper mo, IFS na yan. so tama lang na firm ang front tapos medyo soft sa likod.

**mdpo** · September 21st, 2003 10:33 PM

Ic ganun ba.. sige guess hard for the front and soft for the rear. Thanks! Canvass nalang ako ng price so far $230 for 4 ang lowest price.

**boybi** · September 21st, 2003 11:24 PM

$230 for 4? e di P3100+ lang each? saan ka nagtanong?

**Ungas** · September 22nd, 2003 10:13 AM

Kung sa internet ang quotation, di pa kasama ang shipping and tax. Sa tingin ko mas makakamura pa pag locally ordered ang parts.
