Shock Absorber

[Ghassan]

Dear Members,

I am not sure if this subject was tackled before but sure was many other clubs.

I have a Disco 1 with HD Standard Height Britpart Coils replacing the standard normal stuff 6 months ago and still running on factory shocks for last 179000 KM since 1999.

Car is mainly for my weekend off-roading (Desert Mainly) Wadis and Gravels during cool season. Looking to change the shocks as the car lately has become too bumpy and goes Air Born with any hump during desert drive making it dangerous and unpredictable.

Looking for good shock and been thinking first of the Britpart Super Gas or Cellular Foam , but was not really recommended.

Then been advised of Dobinson, but no direct supplier for the Disco 1 Range .

And now I am limited to the considered as best: OME or Koni Heavy Track. (Yet in Koni there is two option Mono-Tube like Belistin High Pressure Gas and Oil or Twin -Tube Oil Shocks)

Prices are as follows:

OME: AED450 per shock

Mono-Tube Koni Heavy Track: AED 475 per shock

Twin-Tube Koni Heavy Track: AED 550 per shock

Anyone have any experience with the above and assist with some advice.

Regards,

Gas

Go for King shocks if you can afford one. They are very good and one of the best shocks.

Also you can consider Ranchos.

Stay away from rough country, and koni. Not sure about Old Man.

You won't go wrong with Old Man Emu. They are one of the biggest sellers in Australia. They are also good value for money and won't cost a fortune.
