Bilsteins life time warranty should have fixed the eye issue, and I dont know of ANY brand that cannot break an eye from time to time. With the Bilsteins lifetime warranty you need never buy another shock again.
JMHO, Colin.

Could you extrapolate on that?

Just curious because I've got a set on the hilux, I'm finding the front end bumpy at high speeds (like 110km) on the bitumen, and occasionally is seems more bouncy than it shoudl be when going over slower bumps. However the vehicle doesn't carry any load so I thought that was just a hilux trait. The Husband thinks I'm just being fussy in not liking how it rides.

In the past OME's failed too quickly on our heavy 80 series (it had all the gizmos like wheel carriers etc so it was heavy). We found that the Tough Dog big bores worked really well in comparison.

Next time we're buying suspension would probably go with Tough Dog again I guess, depending on the weight of the car.

hi guys
i have tryed ome's they were good but the set of toughdog foamcells were better and they were given a real bashing over a lot of bad corregation with a loaded ute and they made the ute extremely stable for towing the caravan they did 85000km before a seal started to leak
just my experience and opinion on the ever and ongoing subject of what shocking and whats not
