Have done a lot of 4wding with a few different set ups from a SWB70 to a extensively modified 79 and now a 150.
I have used there gear in the past, I have done a lot of trips with people using there gear, and I don't think much of there products, there is every chance the custom valving is ace, hopefully some of the people running them really put them too good use and they go the mile too

There are plenty of real 4WDrivers that have great things to say about those shocks after using them in the real world. Yes, other people drive off road too.
FWIW, When you have zero experience with a product, then impart negative comments about it, your posts appear as pretentious rants. Just sayin'150 GXL - ARB bar, Winch, 9" spots, rhino rack, 32" LED bar, Snorkel, 2" lift, AT's, Dual batts, UHF, 40L fridge, KAON cargo barrier - rear door table

I’m looking to purchase a 2018 Prado and currently researching suspension so looking for some feedback.
I’ve current got OME on my 120 series and they’ve been fantastic. However, I’m thinking about the BP51’s.
Does anyone have the BP51’s and are they really that much better to justify the additional cost?
We do a variety of 4x4 work - beach, dirt roads, hilly climbing work. Want to do Cape York and then Simpson’s particularly over next 12 to 18 months.2009 Prado 120 D4D, Silver, ARB Deluxe Winch Bar, IPFXS, Safari snorkel, diff breathers, OME, GME UHF, Warn Winch, ARB portable compressor, OEM Towbar, Tekonsha brake controller, tinted windows

Hi mate.
Just reread your first post.
Go with C59-352 & C59-327 coils & depending on the towball weight you may need airbags.
Be aware the 24-173032-1 only has one useable groove.
When I sell these shocks I supply them with 3 extra grooves.
Prado suspensions is pretty easy to install yourself. There is thread in the 120 section & I offer day or night phone support for my customers.
Cheers
Any idea where i can get one of these suspension combos online or in Sydney/South coast NSW?
Or should i just buy each component directly from Bilstein/Dobinson?
