dieseler,
i recently upgraded my rear shocks to Rancho Rs5000, bought it at 3,000 each, dito po sa san fernando pampanga, may review din ako nasa ibang thread you've probably seen it,
i say its bang for the buck!
the ride is stiff but not hard!
if you have the budget (iwas DVD muna)
go for the rs9000, parang 4x4 din, matutuwa ka kapag kailangan mo
kung marami kang sakay just twist the dial to setting # 4 or #5
kung ikaw lang set mo lang sa 1 or 2 lambot ride!

btw yung rs5000 setting nito is close or same as setting number 3

Bilsteins::: Stiff shocks, excellent for SUVs. Lalo na kung offroading. One thing for sure these shocks wil outlast any brand available on the market. Though not city friendly on our rock potted roads. :D If you decide on this product be prepared to order them first.

Ranchos:::
5000: Van-AUV friendly, I find these shocks suitable for our "cemented" roads. Not much of an adjustment from an OEM shocks. Stiff enough for loads, soft for passengers. :D Price is a bit cheaper from the compared brands.

9000: The only brand that has its own stiffness setting. 1-5 Just like what the other said, adjust to your suitable needs. :D

RSX 9000: Not much of a review here, all I know is that it has "9" adjustment settings.

Old Man Emu::: This I got to test this product first. Just got them installed yesterday. :D So far I have learned that it has 1 year warranty on shocks only installed. 2 years on shocks and suspension installed. Thay have a 500 km. check-up after installation, and another 5000 km. check-up. Warranty will be void if not properly brought for its check-ups. :D

Ako? Ganon kasi ako bumili:

Pag Collectible ang Movie (as in super ganda ie. Lord of the Rings) - Region 1
Pag Ok lang (maganda but I can live without ie. Iron Giant) - Region 3
Pag Pang-Razzie Award (like Scary Movie 2)- Region ALL - hahaha
I get them RegionAll from Quiapo... :wink:

TY for the 'review'!

Hmm... so Biltein's is out for me...

Rancho na lang and OME... hmm... I remember OTEP saying that madaling matanggal daw ang pangadjust ng Rancho...is this true?

**pajerokid** · December 13th, 2002 09:58 PM

My 2cents lang... OMEs are designed specifically for vehicles. wala lang :|

Hoy ungas::: kamusta bonding nyo ni white meat sa Rats? hehehe

Dieseler,

Sabi lang ng mga Montero off-roaders na madalas daw nilang nawawala yung adjustment knob after off-roading kasi nasabit sa bato, etc. Pero isang tawag lang sa Rancho, pinadadalhan na daw sila agad. Parang hindi mangyayari sa atin yun. hehehe.
