I'm just back from racing Australasian Safari as part of the Service Crew on the Owen Truss Isuzu MUX, that had these shocks as part of OME trials and the results are very good.
We had an OME teck along with the team ---
This is Bill at work under the car, cant show you his face because he's an OME Teck.
The car had double shocks on each corner
and through the race they were removed and checked. the blue strip on the front shocky is heat sensative and used to check the max temp the shocky reached. Throughout the Safari none of them exceeded their normal operating temperature.
During the Safari the car was raced hard and subjected to more punishment than a normal car would recieve in a lifetime and the shocks performed very well. They were easy to adjust and Reg was able to get the compression and rebound right for the car set up very quickly.
At the end of 7 days and 3500km of racing, the Service Crew
and Support Crew
packed a dirty and battered car away and had a quiet drink to reflect on the past week.
The OME shocks performed very well and did everything they claim to do. I have recently fitted new Bilsteins to the rear of the Survey Wagon so cant justify the $$ to change now but will certainly follow the progress of these shocks as I can see the benefit of adjustable rebound dampening on the rear of my set up.
They were laying around everywhere ---
--- but none to fit my Hilux.
