OME Install Q's

[4runnersurf]

That's what I hope, because my dad is giving me crap about wanting to lift it. he just doesn't want me to install it then encounter problems that cost more money.

No with that setup the lift isnt severe enough to encounter any real issues. The only thing you get out of it is an awesome ride. Though I do like the comfort shocks, I may one day try the firms, that is when I get to a city that doesnt have potholes instead of roads.

Is there anything wrong with the comfort shocks? Are they too bouncy?

[Lee]

comfort = softer which = bouncy, at least offroad.

on road they will absorb softer which some people prefer.

i think these trucks are best when firm.

Lee:

Did you have both the comfort and the firm? If so, can you compare the two without considering off road performance?

DNAHilux and Jamie:

How is your ride with the comfort shocks? Would you prefer a firmer ride?

[Lee]

nope i only had the firm ones

i had bilsteins before that though which were softer shocks and i hated those over time.

It's really personal preference for comfort vs firm shocks but I love the feel of the OME comfort shocks I put on and I don't find them bouncy at all (the softer part is on the rebound, not the compression). You definately don't need any diff drops or anything if you go with the same setup I have.

[Lee]

yeah im sure on-road the comforts are fine

Thanks for all the help guys. All that's left is to call Scott and order it. I will keep you updated.

After all the attempts to convince my dad, he still isn't convinced, but I see signs of wear on the horizon. He wants write up's on the company and reviews from various people. He still doesn't think it's worth 600 bucks. Do any of you guys/gals have links to various review sites for Old Man Emu and writeups on their coils and shocks. Thanks in advance.
