Hey guys I thought I would start a thread on my new suspension. Give a few reasons why I changed and let you know if I found anything particularly hard to change etc and also the I provements or if non then I'll say the cons too
Please note I did try various other thing first to try see if it was a simply fix or not
So to start off I decided it was time to change from stock after a few long journeys around 700km each way and I noticed that every time I hit a pot hole or any uneven surface It felt like by p stops where smashing onto the foot well.
Second reason was when ever I cornered to hard or braked the front end would tend to skip and on one occasion caused me to bounce half a car width across the he road when I hit uneven surface on a 80km corner
4wd in also wasn't to comfortable bouncing every where etc
So that is just a few reason why I decided to swap the stock suspension out.
So after alot of forums and many fb posts later I finally decided to go for efs mainly due to customer service and I like the look of there gear aswell.
So I ordered brand new shocks, leafs, bushes, Torsions, shackles and u bolts.
The torsions don't arrive for another 3 weeks but the rest all arrived today.
First impressions was holy shit this is alot bigger then stock how is it going to fit in.
I was highly Im pressed with the finish and the general look of the shocks didn't look the cheap shitty aftermarket parts looked like genuine quality which I was pretty happy with
Over the next few days when I have spare time I'll put everything in except for the torsions for obvious reason and I'll update you on the hieght difference and ride quality
Any questions are welcome !
Cheers Ben
