Re: What suspension and lift to go for on the 150???

How much does price compare with quality?

OME suspension from ARB or Trekmaster suspension for 1/2 the ARB price.

Is OME suspension that much better?

a set of cheap shocks by the looks of it with not much design or R&D ... i guess its why 'treckmaster' list other brands in front of 'trekmaster' brand on their own website. Old Man Emu gives you 3 years warranty and Australia wide support what do you get with 'trekmaster'? http://www.trekmaster.com.au/shoponline/group/8

You should be in Brisbane Darren...bit far to drive for me

We have an installer in Brisbane, as well as Sydney, and Adelaide [as well as U.K, USA, Sth Africa][/quote:3lqbctwl]

Who does your fitting in Adelaide??

I am keen to part with some coin and the wife was not happy with the OME on the 120 series - this sounds pretty good to me

Bzzzzt
EFS springs are Carrolls which are Kings. I know the guy who worked for Carrolls development for years.

EFS haven't released 150 series kits.

Total Traction Tyres do Darren's mods. Must admit I'm a happy customer after they did my 120 lift and installed my rock sliders from Darren too.

Pretty sure Darren (at TTT) has done a fair bit for the SA 120 group.

With that name im guessing you have a 150 series. :wink:

I would check with Ironman as while some of the gear listed for 150 is different to 120 the rear shocks where the 150 and 120 differ the most is where they just cross over.... surprising you would make new springs have new front chocks but bugger the back where the difference is largest...

Worthwhile checking with ironman to see if the catalogue online is just out of date though

Yep have checked with them and they claim that the rear is 150 specific although I'm now not so sure, they are the only mob I can find to do a dedicated kit for the shorty (which mine is) so the research will continue.

Cheers for the reply.

i would ask them for a break down of the 'kit' for the shorty with all the part numbers listed so you can check before you venture down that path.

They should be forthcoming with that for you

Have chosen Bilstein with Kings Springs, also adding air bags as well...fitted with all that $1800...I am happy with that and they will go onb in a few weeks, 50 Ml lift added in that as well.

I am now set for the Flinders, Ooodnadatta Track, Simpson and Birdsville Track in July-August

OME suspension from ARB or Trekmaster suspension for 1/2 the ARB price.

Is OME suspension that much better?

Did some more investigation, Trekmaster kit using Ironman coils and Lovell shocks for $650. Using Bilsten shocks instead of Lovells $1150.

ARB OME kit $1397.

Asking the question again, is OME still that much better than Ironman and Lovell.
