Genuine verse Aftermarket.

[Dave]

My opinion, genuine is go as it always fits and is tested to the extreme.

Aftermarket I use.

Stereo, tie rod ends and the intercooler.

Anything engine related is genuine.

Shocks, Bilstein all the way.

As for suspension. Dont waste your money on aftermarket suspension.

The factory torsion bars on the D22 actually ride decent, same with the leaf springs. The leaf springs are setup for a combination of decent ride quality and medium load handling. If you're at max GVM everyday, by all means get better leaf springs.

If you use it for camping, dont waste the money.

I would rather the stock ride then a 2 inch lift.

Its almost impossible to get accurate reviews as everyone tries to justify the money they spent.

I have wasted to much money on the "Perfect ride", factory is as best as it gets.

 

[FatBoy89]

Disagree! Stop justifying your decision to be a tightass now.

 

[nathand22]

Hi mate, did you end up taking the 'SAX" leafs back??

 

[FatBoy89]

Ooo yea!
If not, ill take them

 

[Dave]

Na, they are still in and pissing me off.

Gotta get the factory springs out from under the house.

Anyone got a low km set of stock D22 torsion bars ?

Whats the most reliable aftermarket thing I have used.

The Greddy turbo timer. Its actually worth the money, unlike the overrated and overpriced Boggard.

 

[nathand22]

Did you sell the other springs yet?

If factory is so good why do they have to be low k's?

Ha ha!

 

[Dave]

I may even have the original set still. They would only have 100,000kms on them, so will probably still use them if I have them still.

Ever seen a factory set of springs fail ?

Want to sell me your sax?

 

[joe2006]

Na, they are still in and pissing me off.

Why they pissing you off?

 

[joe2006]

Second thoughts you better not say.

 

[Dave]

Cause 1st gear and second they vibrate, downshifting they vibrate.

The Lovell's never did it and the SAX only JUST ride slightly better.
The way everyone talked them up, they rode like coils. Far from it.

Everything is done up tight, have a look at the spring design. The part at the back is what causes them to vibrate from what I can see.

By the way, those Bilsteins have 180,000km's on them and they're still better then the factory shocks new. They still push back with plenty of force.

 

[DomHogan]

I have a set of standard torsion bars!
have probably 70,000km's on them.

 

[Dave]

Whats Mollymook near Dom ?

 

[DomHogan]

its about 40 minutes north of batemans bay and about 2 hours south of wollongong

 

[d22dave]

, unlike the overrated and overpriced Boggard.
