Shackleton Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 Anyone know where to get a standard pair of OME +2" Nitrochargers for the rear of my D2? There are Nitrocharger "Sport" shocks everywhere but my Disco has OME +2" HD springs on it so I'm afraid it'd eat them for nibbles. It's gone through a new set of rears (different brand) in less than 10K so I guess that'll learn me for putting non HD shocks in with HD springs. I've used Craddock, Paddock, JGS, Island and one or two others in the past, but they all only list "Sport". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted February 11, 2016 Share Posted February 11, 2016 I thought sport was part of the name now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shackleton Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 I'm out of touch so don't know but on the .au website they list Nitrocharger, and Nitrocharger Sport separately. Having said that if I use their suspension selector tool, and tell it I have a bullbar and winch (I don't, but I have suspension like I do) it gives me three options all of which spec the Sport shock. I find the site mainly scant on info and confusing where there is info. If I click on the plain Nitrocharger section it shows a picture of the exact shock the car came to me with - a full yellow shock with steel dust guards and a blue and red Nitrocharger sticker. Maybe I should give up and buy a bush kit for my old Nitrochargers. The dust guards are spectacularly corroded to the point of there being very little left, and the bushes are absolutely knackered but last year when I took them off for the test they were otherwise still going strong. I might be able to salvage the placcy dust guards from my newer outgoing rears Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garymorris Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Try Gwyn Lewis , he has a good stock of OME and he's exceedingly helpful Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pawl12 Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 Devon 4x4 also stock them. Paddocks are now stocking Fox dampers in +2s for a D2. They've got a good reputation on Comp Safari & Dakar type extreme offroad vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L19MUD Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I am not that happy with my foxes.... Ride wise they transformed my 90, but a little over a 18mths on and the chrome on the rods show signs of corrosion. Not good for a premium product Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honitonhobbit Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 OME are now made in China and are a very different ball game Bilstein are worth a punt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shackleton Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 I saw Bilstein alright, and figured I could do worse. Devon 4x4 have a nice selection but the only thing listed as HD are the Koni's. They're not bad in my experience with normal cars. Nothing is listed as being ok for +2" though. I find that strange. Should I make the assumption? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
honitonhobbit Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 A lot of shocks are standard to +2" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
