Have a look through this thread:Ash wrote:i recived my new springs and struts i was wondering if anyone had replaced there own before is it and easy job? how long does it take are the spring compressers needed or can it be done without them? i have the service manuaul on cd so i have some help but they do make it look easy. i'm sure i have seen a post on here before but now unable to find it.
I steve, i am the same Ash,it is a lift 40mm, sorry no photos just yet all i did was mesure the shocks the rest can wait, i will have photos when the jobs complete thanks Ash http://www.ironmansuspension.com.au/NVSteve wrote:Ahh, you must be the same Ash who posts on PCOA? Do you have any more pictures of the ironman suspsension? Is it actually a lift, or just a replacement for the factory suspension? Any links?
no worry's blink thanks for coments, the new upgrade springs that i have are heaps thicker and are longer han the standard ones, there used to be photos on here of upgrades but now unable to find them and they had the old next to the new but i never noticed if the shocks and struts were the same size.blink32 wrote:If I'm remembering correctly the OME suspension is basically the same. The lift comes from a slightly taller but much stiffer spring. The rear shock and front strut looked exactly the same if not slightly shorter. As opposed to both slightly longer as I originally expected.
Good luck and let us know how it goes.
Have a look at the post from Blink above your last post. His signature has a link to some photos that show the stock springs & struts side by side with the OME springs & struts.Ash wrote:there used to be photos on here of upgrades but now unable to find them and they had the old next to the new but i never noticed if the shocks and struts were the same size.
thanks steve i found the photos i can't compare the front struts just yet i'm not gaim enough to remove them in fear i might not be able to get the new ones in the ome struts in blinks album do look a touch longer, but he had no pics of the rear shocks.NVSteve wrote:Have a look at the post from Blink above your last post.
