Pete, If they won't take them back I could be interested in them if the price is right. Steve |

They gave me 60039 and 60037. Had a look on the OME web site and they said thats for a 110 with a load between 300kg and 500kg and a steel bull bar fitted. I have a 90 which is mostly ran empty and does the occasional bit of towing with a ifor. I told them i want a soft supple ride, i went in to get some koni shocks as there adjustable but they said the OME was a better ride and softer. So they have sold me the wrong ones? Pete. |

I vaguely remember this so maybe I also got the wrong ones. I have to say they were among the better rides with a load M 90 & Wolf 110 XS Previously owned SI SII SIIa SIII & Light weight (air portable) |

I had some on the 110 and they worked superbly.
BUT...... If you lay it up for anytime I'd look elsewhere. I had OME's just over a year when I didn't need the 110 for a while so it was parked in the garage. One day there was a fine spray of oil everywhere under the right front wheelarch and on the floor. Seals had gone and the shock was toast. A friend of mine had exactly the same thing on a challenge truck parked up between events. Vehicle had been parked for a couple of weeks and then pop! 90XS Tdci John Eales 110 CSW G4 Edition 88" Series 3 Racer |

I did a search on 60039 and its the Nitro Sport, which is a different and firmer shock than I have. So that would explain the contradicting rides we're describing. |
