Rodw, I was a bit worried about the ome suspension sagging after reading a thread a few months ago with hilux owners expressing dissatisfication about sagging front ends; I was waiting for delivery with ome kit fitted through dealer. When the car arrived, I measured the heights and noted that the front springs and struts were Prado hd which haven't moved more than approx 5mm after 3 months. I think I remember reading that Prado springs are heavier wire than the Hilux coils. Regardless, I think any of the reputable aftermarket brands give superior ride and handling to the standard factory springs/shocks. It depends on what emphasis you want with your truck as to what brand will best suit the purpose. I wanted load carrying capacity, a mild lift and good on-road handling, and I can't fault the ome kit so far.
IF A MAN TALKS IN THE FOREST AND THERE IS NO WOMAN TO HEAR HIM, IS HE STILL WRONG?
