LAS Profender Suspension
Anybody have experience with the LAS Profender suspension on a Patrol? How does it perform? Any issues?

Re: LAS Profended Suspension
Ek het die Profender shocks op en hulle is OK. Ongelukkig het ek geen ondervinding van ander shocks nie, so ek kan nie vergelyk nie.

Het jy die skokbrekers laat opsit of het jy die Patrol so gekoop? Watter spriraal vere het jy op?

Re: LAS Profended Suspension
Try Pedders foam cell shocks. They've been used with some success on other Patrols.

Re: LAS Profended Suspension
I don't think its wise to pay good money for something that can't be serviced

Re: LAS Profended Suspension
I paid R3k (ex VAT) for 2 longer Bilsteins for the rear of my Patrol (65mm lift), from Mikem about a year ago. I like the fact that they can be serviced.
I also had Bilsteins on my Terrano. Brilliant shocks. Once Darryl at Mikem insisted that they needed servicing after 3 years, but once they were opened, the oil was like new and still totally translucent. No service needed...
Once the fronts on my Patrol need replacement, I will only fit one brand! - BILSTEIN!! Ditto on the Pathfinder.....
