Evening all im in need of some new shocks and ive seen some terrafirma shock on island 4x4 seems a great price.

Does any one have these fitted and rate them or what have others fitted and rate.

Many thanks

You get what you pay for but terrafirma or pro comp are good for the price range

Do you like a comfy ride? The standard (Boge) dampers tend to be the comfiest - just about all other aftermarket shocks are stiffer which give the car a firmer ride.

Well I would prefer a softer ride but that is hinder with the 19"inch wheels it came with so it can be said it is a bit firmer than normal.

I have recently fitted new dunlop bags to the rear as they where leaking and I noticed the shock looked worn and I get a clicking/clunking noise from the shocks when the vehicle is bounced I believe the seals have gone hard causing the noise so thought it would be best to change as I have no receipt for them ever being changed.

I did see the britpart cellular dynamic ones but I prefer to stay clear of britpart for know reasons.

So boge gets you a softer ride then any other views

I agree with avoiding the Britpart ones especially as Boges are so cheap and the Britpart ones are stiffer - I know someone who fitted them to his car then regretted it.

I do approx 4-5k a year very little offroad depends which fishing lakes I go to and thats about it really. Whatever I fit will be better than what is fitted. With my job working on new landrovers all day the p38 will never run like them no matter what expensive/uprated parts I fit.

If you work on them for a living, you ought to be able to get OEM trade
