Late 2000 Pajero 3.5 v6 suspension replacement

[Pietervdw]

Hi everyone,

I have a 2000 Mitsubishi Pajero 3.5 v6. Not the blister fender. It has coil-overs in the front and coils in the back. After doing 230 000km on the stock suspension the time has come to replace them as I can now feel every bump in the road.
I have contacted multiple fitment centers for quotes on different suspension options and by the sound of it, Tough Dog, Iron Man, Bilstein, and OME are the best offerings for a full kit (Shocks and Coils all round).

I was also told that because of the monocoque design doing a suspension upgrade will increase noise (this is also mentioned on the iron man website).

Does anyone have a recommendation as to what brand to use and how bad the noise is? I would prefer not to go too expensive, according to the dealers the OEM kit is north of 40k which is more than an OME kit.

Thanks in advance
