Troll Hunter Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 OK, I'm fed up with bouncy bouncy, so I must get some new rear shocks. What are people using for 110 CSW with HD rear springs, often fairly heavily loaded, usually used on tarmac with occasional off-road, but not any severe/competitive stuff? The dealers out here can supply a pair of Monroe OESpectrum Light Truck Shock Absorber, model no. 37249, at about GBP120, which is a bit pricey, and they don't seem able to get a cheaper equivalent, so I'm hoping to get something cheaper from UK, even including the freight. Inter-parcel, here I come! Anyway, many thanks, in advance, for giving me your experiences and recommendations. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mat2495 Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I listened to vulcan bomber saying Koni heavy tracks, and have absolutely no regrets, they seem to be good at everything, and reasonably priced over here at any rate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie D Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I've had reasonable succes with bearmarch rough track - couldn't afford the Koni's at the time, quite soft but got rid of the excess bounce effect your talking about - similar use as you describe. Lost interest in the procomps etc - kept busting them on articulation / compression on tracks. The ruff tracks lasted a good few years with the same treatment / spring set-up. I think it had either the bearmach or britpart heavy duty 2" lift fitted from memory. Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmgemini Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 I use Land Rover 130 rear shocks on my 110 station wagon fitted with 130 rear springs. Yes it gets loaded to 3,050kg.... Or listen to VB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JST Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 i am having the same decison cycle. its coming down to Koni or OME currently. heart says OME as thats what the other truck runs, but alot of people are very pleased with the Konis. Price wise there is not alot in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajh Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 One advantage of Koni is the lifetime warranty and the adjustable valve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
