Re: Gen 3 Suspension change
I still have a set of OE coils that came off my Gen 3 available to a good home. They have about 120 000 kms on the only reason I changed was for the lift but if I ever have to lift again I will definitely use spacers rather that after market coils.

So if you want them shout and they are your free mahala en verniet else they will become scrap metal At a scrapyard they may only be worth the monetary value of a few cold ones, so hopefully they will be worth more to someone else... ;)

Hi CATS,

Do you have an aftermarket bullbar installed or do you have medium coils on the front (petrol version)? Two fitment centres I spoke to refuse to fit Ironman due to the stiff coils and problems with the shocks.

I have ARB Sahara bar upfront and winch. The OLD Man Emu was Heavyduty. When I fitted the Iron man there is only one to choose from. I have however experienced hassles with the Ironman and went back to Old Man Emu up front.

See this thread for more details https://www.pajeroclub.co.za/forum/view ... 5472#p5472

I am not surprised that the guys refuse to fit the IM after my experience. They are just not up to the same standard as the OME ones.

Re: Gen 3 Suspension change
I have just fitted OME to my GEN 3 LWB. I was a bit worried about the ride quality when the car is empty, but am very pleasantly surprised. The car is more surefooted and the ride is actually smoother! I have not tried it fully laden as yet. I fitted the standard coils up front and the mediums at the rear. Expensive, yes, but worth every cent.

Re: Gen 3 Suspension change
Hi Kenekam,

Do you know what the part numbers of the springs were? It seems there are different part numbers for diesel / petrol, medium duty /heavy duty...


Thanks,

Try Autoquip in Centurion or even Hi-Q for Gabriels? What will a set from the dealers set you back? The Original ones are very good quality.

Re: Gen 3 Suspension change
If you will consider Gabriels, also consider their off-road product: KUBU's.

Re: Gen 3 Suspension change
I think you mean Gabriel Kubu, Anton :wink: , but I doubt whether Gabriel has shocks for the Gen 3, especially for the front where coil-over-shock struts are employed.
