OME Shocks

joc,

got standard nitros on my 100 series and booked in,in 3 weeks to upgrade to the sport before I do the CSR !
My 4by mechanic showed me the internals of both the standard and sport and the difference is in the internal valving, looks much more robust. For $30 more a shock mech told me it was money well spent to upgrade.
He and both his mechanics run them on there 4bys, mad bush bashers, and say they perform great.

What ever you do just dont go EFS I replaced my OME (3yr and bleep e load of K's) Nitrocharger shocks with EFS big bore and it now handles like the queen mary in rough seas and floats all over the road. That bad I'm thinking of writing off the $800 I paid for them and putting the old OME nitro's back on.

Gerry,

reluctantly I put the OME shocks on last year (cost and time factor only). On the Canning they were running at 150 Celcius after only 10 minutes of bad corrugations (Speed 17-25 kph). Tough Dog Big Bore Adjustables on a companion vehicle were at 50C. The shocks survived but I'll not go down that path again. Tough dog appear a good product (I can't afford Konigs at $600 a piece) as an alternative although somewhat dearer. If you do have problems with the OME, don't expect much in the way of customer service from ARB.
