***edit***

November 10th, 2005 09:25 AM #2RS9000 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!

November 13th, 2005 12:14 AM #10how 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.

November 13th, 2005 01:42 AM #13try calling 187 and ask for their number
but please do take note that when u get the rs9000x you would have to adjust your shocks manually
unless you decide to get the optional in cab kit thingy which is not practical but thats another story

November 14th, 2005 10:20 AM #16nugundam93,
i did some research for a friend's Gen 2.5 after posting at the merged Gen 2.5 Pajero thread on this board. here are what i got for your reference:
Redback-BF Paranaque (Contact Person: Lito 8250883)
Bilstein (Not Adjustable) P6,500 2 years warranty
Rancho RS9000X (Adjustable) P7,500
Tough Dog (Adjustable) By order (For reference, P11k yung sa Patrol)
Labor Inclusive
RIDE - Banawe: (Contact Person: Ana 7112127)
Pro Comp ES1000 Fluid shocks P2,500 *
Rancho RS9000X (Adjustable) P6,250 * - by order, 10 days lead time
Bilstein (Not Adjustable) P6,500 *
Labor Inclusive
RATS - Pasong Tamo: (Contact Person: Armand)
Old Man Emu (Not Adjustable) P5,200 *
Labor 200 *
Warranty is 1 year for Ride and Rats. Yung Rancho pala, although adjustable, sa ilalim (sa shocks mismo) ina-adjust. Plus P17K for the compressor so you can adjust in-cabin. I don't think they can adapt the OEM adjustment switch of the Gen 2.5 to the Rancho.

November 15th, 2005 05:02 PM #20guys, just to confirm...
rancho rs9000x at 6,250 each means 25000 pesoses. is that right?
is just the shocks that needs to be changed or manganganak pa ang gastos nito?
