Rancho Shocks

Submitted: Wednesday, Nov 03, 2004 at 23:14

Hope someone out there can assist. I own a Mazda Bravo 2.5 T/D and have the chance on getting some Rancho Shocks from a friend with an earlier model Bravo. They are still in the boxes so I just need to know what the model numbers are for Rancho's for a 2003 Mazda B. They are RS9000X shocks and if they are the right ones it will save me a few hundred big ones. Hope someone has these fitted and can help.

I have a set of Rancho RS9000X shocks fitted to my Maverick. I hear Pro's & Con's of these shocks but after travelling 20,000 K's with them on all sorts of terrain I have no complaints. The RS9000X are 9 stage adjustable and an in car kit can be bought seperate for around the $350 to $400 mark to adjust them without crawling under to do so. I have removed the front and rear sway bars for extra travel amoungst the rocks and on road just dial up the shock to suit handling on the black top and I find them good at the job. I paid $168 each around 12 months ago.

Hi Vinnie,

Yep I know the quality of the shocks, I had RS9000 (5 stage) on my Pajero and have kept the in car kit and was very happy with the ride they delivered. What I was after was the model number of the shocks for a 2003 Mazda B so I can see if the ones from mate will fit without having to remove the originals to see first. I have a quote for new ones of $792 ( not sure the retailer wants to loose the sale and give me the model numbers), but if I can use the ones from mate at half this price, I can put the money into some Rancho Torsion Bars.
