mudmuncher Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Hi all I have been offered a 2nd hand full lift kit (old man emu) The kit has covered about 15000 miles I have been told Old man emu is unbreakable and will last for years and years Would it be a good buy for around £300 or would i be better of spending the same on a brand new Terrafirma lift kit ?? Your opinions please guys Many thanks Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
need4speed Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 OME stuff is definately better gear, but if those 15k miles are a mixture of road and rough-stuff they may have had a hard time.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landy V8 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 i've got Terra's +5 on mine.Can't fault the quality. You never know how long the 2nd stuff is going to last,so could be a false economy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milliejasper1111 Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 Just put a Terrafirma 2" medium duty kit on my disco, well happy with the set up, excellent damping! for the money i would go with new over second hand any day. got mine from MM4x4 they were the cheapest, and all arrived the next day Terrafirma gets my vote anyway!

iomlt Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 i know of lots of leaking on the plus 2" terra stuff, the plus 5" are better but i would save the extra and buy new ome.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McS Junior Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 We've just beaten the carp out of a set of +5" remote reservoir terrafirma dampers in the Ukraine and I'm very impressed with them - just the corrugated ukrainian "roads" would have killed many a lesser shock, far a less the 100's of kms of swamp and forest....

Off Road Toad Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 We've taken a chance on the Terrafirma stuff on our 90". we're off to Romania in 3-4 weeks time to do the Transilvania trophy so we'll see how good they are we have the plus 5" remote resevoir dampers and plus 2" medium coils. it handles nicely at speed but i am dissapointed with the front coil springs. whilst the rears are nice and long and progressive the fronts are too short when used in conjunction with the plus 5" dampers and Gwynn Lewis's hardware and seem to give you a lift by just being stiff I will probably put something else on the front.
