    Kung ok pa yung coils mo, and/or ayaw mo tumangkad yung Prado II mo, stick with the old coils and just replace the shocks. I've tried OMEs on my Prado. I dunno kung guni-guni ko lang, pero after 2 years, parang matagtag na sila. Not entirely sure coz hindi na ako naka-stock 17s. Upgraded to 20s for almost 2 years na rin. Pero on stock rims after the replacement, ang laki nung ginanda nung ride ng OME sa stock. Malambot, pero hindi nagbo-bottom out.

    May available pa rin bang RS 5000? Didn't the RS 9000 replace it? Kung daily drive lang, at di ka naman madalas mag-offroad, baka ok na yung OME. There are shops who allow you to test the ride for 7 days, and return the shocks, assuming you don't damage them, if you're not satisfied with the ride.

    tnx sa reply IMm29. ang choice ko lang talaga is ung rancho and old man emu. may rancho rs5000 pa, 3800 ang isa. may new model na pumalit dun ung rs5600, 4400 each. pero parehas lang daw ung dlwa. d ko sure kung ano pinagkaiba. pero sa tingin mo ba ok na rancho rs5000 ang ikabit ko. d naman ako mag off road. pang city driving lang. mura kasi compare sa old man emu na 5650 each. canvass ko un sa rats pasong tamo. ang layo ng price diba..
    how about naman ung rs9000x, pang off road lang ba yun? 5100 each un. meron pa bago yung rs99xx, 7300 each. san ko ba pwede pakabit yung shock kasi plan ko bibili nalang ako tapos pakabit ko. yung magaling po sana mag ayos. baka kasi sabihin sakin kailangan ko din palitan yung coil spring, un pala hinde. gusto lang makabenta or bumili ako. kasi ang inquire ako sa rats sa pasong tamo, sabi shock absorber and coil spring papalitan daw nila.
    san po ba ginagamit yung steering damper? kasi pinakakabit din ako nun ng rats... advice lang po....

    sir sire,
    mukhang mganda un nkuha mo prado ah,considering the engine 3.0L, sa shocks cgro ang na e 22long nyan sa ride is 30% lng actually if yuo want tlga na malambot un ride nyan yuo have to change to aftermarket coils, sa shock kung gus2 mo self adjusting un rancho na rsx lng iba un sa rs5000 and rs9000x, un iba kung friend they used bilstein shocks din on their prado..

    for me, i'll go for OME... mas maganda ride nya compared sa rancho. we used rs5000 sa bighorn namin unfortunately less than 2 years nasira na kaagad.

    for under suspension, try cruven or zee car shop. search mo nalang yung dalawa coz' meron silang sariling thread dito sa forum.
