Fluid or Gas Type?

[Offroad_Goals]

Mga brod, im planning to upgrade from the stock Tokiko shock absorbers on my 2008 hilux. What type can you suggest I go for? Gas or Fluid? Thank you in advance!

may nagsabi sakin na mas maganda daw fluid type dampers pagdating sa high speed
forgot exactly his explanation, pero mas maganda daw fluid type kasi sa high speed mas naka "baon" sa road yung wheels mo

I guess the ones who offer longer warranty.
And depends on your damping requirements.

Who said so? Most of the sporty shock absorbers and coilovers are of the mono-tube or gas-charged ones.

Advantage ng fluid type is madali makita pag may leak.
Baka in 2 to 3 yrs iba na ulit kotse mo. Heheh.
Camry na.

Ano ba bago nyang kotse? Big body Corolla GLi? Sorry bro but di naman considered as sporty yun. Try nya muna yung mga known good-handling cars with monotube or gas-charged shocks for comparison. I had a Nissan Exalta before which came stock with hydraulic shocks and it was not that good on aggressive cornering.

Mas mabilis kasi mag adjust yung gas sa changes in damping compared to fluid. Better for handling kung quicker yung response ng shocks or coilovers.

dati nya auto yun bro, nabigay narin sa barkada nya na nawala ng auto.
nakwento ko lang kasi yun lutang feeling as early as 150kph dun sa vios and dito sa altis
observation nya bali sa gas vs fluid daw, sa gli nya noon 180kph eh planted pa daw

Have you tried to compress a fluid type and a gas type? fluid type can easily be compress even with one hand, hindi sya lumalaban, unlike yung gas type ang hirap ikabit, dahil sa sobrang tigas i compress. In road usage mas kapit na kapit yung gulong mo sa kalsada using gas type since lagi sya naka extend, unlike yung fluid type na dahan dahan bumabalik.
