Gentlemen, after much searching, even "Googleing" Terrafirma shocks, I have not been able find any information beyond their sales information. Has anyone any experience with these shocks?
I picked them up at British Pacific yesterday to replace my factory installed Bodges with 153K miles on them, so I'm sure they will be an improvement. At $75.00 each they are priced between $55.00 for the Bodge replacements, and Old Man Emu's at $95.00, and far less than the $150 for the Bilstein 5150s which I’d really like (I think.) The chap at BritPac, said they were new to them, but they liked the quality of the part, but had no actual experience with them. So I volunteered to give'm a try. Before installing them I wanted to know if anyone had any experience with them. As far as I can tell they have a larger shaft than the OMEs, but don’t have the warrantee. They also look to be possibly not the highest quality of construction. So would they last is my next question? I have found them in use on a few Discos and Defenders but none on the P38s. Please advise.
For some back round, I drive my Rover 600 miles a week mostly on California highways, and on the occasional weekend go offroading in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. So The Factory replacements would be fine I'm sure, but I was looking for something in between stock, the OMEs and the Bilstein 5150s. I have the Arnott Gen IIIs on my ride which were a great improvement. But lacking the funds at the moment, I can't justify the 5150s (which I’d prefer on the weekends I’m sure, but may not Monday to Friday) and the height sensor extensions to do it all properly.
Before I commit to these your input would be great. Thanks Seth.
