From my recent exposure to changing the shocks on my Nissan Pathfinder 2001 model R50 I came to know about the different types of shocks available in the market. Oil based shocks which last a bit longer, Nitro shocks which add a lot of comfort and Foam cell shocks which I know nothing about. The little I have discovered is that the Nitro and Foam Cell shocks are almost similarly constructed but have the foam along with the nitro. Anybody who has used the Foam Cell shocks and Nitro Shocks swears that the Foam Cell technology is much more comfortable. However my application will be more for off-road. The only drawback I have heard about the Foam Cell shocks is that although it does not get so hot so soon, but if overheated it takes time to recover after they fade. Any takes from anyone who can explain this all to me in lay man terms and give me an educated guess as to which one would suit better for off-roading?
