[surf-wejd]

hi all.

[Apache]

No really. Nowt to choose between them.

[KERRSURF]

gas

[Apache]

gas

Nah, just a bit of indigestion.

[KERRSURF]

I'm waiting for someone to say oil.

..............

I only said gas because I could.....

[Apache]

Oh OK then...

Oil!!!!

[hilux2.8]

depends on what you want

Oil / foam cell shocks give you a much better ride & fade less on long journeys on corrugated roads than the gas filled shocks.

Oil / foam shocks though once overheated will have lost permantley some of there absorbing qualities, but it takes a fair bit of punishment to get them hot.

Gas shocks on the other hand fade and heat up a hell of a lot easier, but once cooled they will return to normal & will have lost none of there absorbing qualities.

If you do 95% of your driving on lovely english roads with the occassional weekend blitz on the dirt track go for the oil / foam cell shocks.

If you plan on driving the Canning Stock Route or the Paris Dakar go for the gas ones.

Cheers Matt

anway serious question, are all the es 90000 the same as you can get ones from landrover sites for £30 with boots?
