Hi Robert
I have an EFS package on my 07 Rodeo Twincab. Bought with high recommendations from my tyre bloke. It made a world of difference and I was quite happy.
But just one thing. I bought the standard spring rate package for the rear and not a 'heavy' duty option. Something like 280k's to 400 k's but I'm guessing. I didn't want the harsh ride when empty. I changed the configuration from a tub/flexiglass canopy to a alloy tray and full alloy canopy.
Short story, the rear springs failed on a trip to the Cape. Probably would have been under warranty (didn't try - a bit hard when you are on the road) but needed a reset (going up) and then a rebuild (coming back) (Thankyou NQ Springs - great service).
In short, would get the 'heavy' duty springs if I went with EFS - or any other brand really - but
mine is a ute not a wagon. I feel the standard springs were not really up to it but I am not in any way an engineer's bootlace. Would I buy again - probably - good value for money and probably my poor choice of spring rate.
cheers
Rossy
