    are the Rancho 9000 adjustable shocks good as replacement shocks for the OEM 3-way adjustable shocks of the pajero? how much are they and who sells them here? thanks in advance.

    ***edit***

    i'll add the rancho 5000 shocks as well. :D

    RS9000 shocks are excellent for off-road. RS5000 is a non-adjustable strut which is equivalent to the middle adjustment of RS9000. Used Rancho RS9000 in my pick-up and pajero before.

    Downside: bad on-road handling.

    Alternative: BILSTEIN - good compromise between handling and off-road capabilities

    Another excellent suggestion: KYB Adjustable Shocks! Good performance and price-friendly!

    i think Armark sells rancho products... meron din ride4fun sa alabang... jojo4wheel naman sa bacolod... we're using rs9000 sa lc60 namin at rs5000 naman sa bighorn (3doors)... ganda ng performance esp sa offroad...

    how much ba for each from the 9000 series? 5000 series?

    baka kasi they're better overall (price, features, etc) than the OEM 3-way shocks which cost 8K per piece.
