  • ironman v's others

    My wife dangled a carrot infront of me the other day by mentioning the finance controller might authorise enough of the folding stuff to replace my worn out front end suspension with a 2" lift all round

    Part b'day pressie part essential maintainence.

    I have a family friend who is a mechanic and he's said he could install it for me so my question is...

    :?: What is Ironman suspension like for 800 odd bucks compared to the lovell, billys combination for I believe just over the $1K mark.
    Is the extra $200 or $300 well spent.
    It's a 98 VX petrol auto and does about 30-35K klm per year. Probably get off road betwwen 1 or 2 times a month.
    Cheers, Leon

      I guess it comes down to on what you want and how you want you car to handle and how much you are prepared to pay...

      Bilsteins will give your car better handling vs any other shock on
      the market today...

      IronMan will work but not the best... ( I know the guy from IronMan who does most of their real-life testing for them).

      The best shocks/springs combo I have seen is availble from darren at ats4x4... Feeting just the cirtain brand of shocks/springs doesn't mean
      you gonna get the best.. it gotta be a tested package with the cirtain negatives of shocks and springs fixed. (i.e bilstein bushes might only last 20k by some reports)...

      Have a look at the lcool 90series forum it's got suspension covered to death there...

        Thanks lc120_man

        I'll have a look at Lcool, I usually do for everything else... don't know why I didn't this time :roll:

        I'm now tossing up between replacing the front end with standard height shocks (as the back end is under a year old) bringing it back to 245mm'ish clearence and replacing my tyres first.

        Maybe some MT FCII's....

          For tyres, have a look at Maxxis Buckshot Mudder. Just a suggestion!
          How do they go for daily driving?... I do around 30-40K a year.
