Hey guys i was wondering if anyone has any reviews on terrafirma springs/shocks. I've done a search and all i can find is freds on people who have just fitted them.

My main questions are-
how are they after a few months of wear and tear? Have they sagged at all?

Do they compress well and allow the front to articulate? (my **** parts are too hard and stay almost level when the backs fully articulated)

How are they on the road?

I have all the corrected arms polybushes and all the shiney jizz.

Thanks in advance
 
i fitted terrafirma +5 shocks in April last year, at mot in Jan i was advised the front 2 were leaking, so contacted the supplier who forwarded photo's onto terrafirma, whilst waiting for a reply from them which took 3 weeks and threatening with trading standard, the rear shock snapped at the pin, so sent photo's again, they said all shocks were fitted wrong(yeah right) but as a goodwill jesture,lol, they sent me 4 off the moddified new ones which are now fitted and all is well again, but i would'nt buy terrafirma again
 
shocks, hmmmm.

springs, good. had my medium duties on for nearly 3 years and no sign of sag. I run my 90 around fully loaded to. Very impressed with them. they are showing rust and generally looking old, but no sign of sag yet.

My shocks are just the standard ones that came in the kit, no leaks, no problems but I find they dont 'damp' very well and the whole set-up is quite 'springy' which makes it really comfy but sometimes offroad it tends to bounce a fair bit, usually when climbing rock sections and giving it beans.

for our Transiberian trip Im going to replace the springs for new TF heavy duties (towing sankey trailer) and use Old Man Emu or Koni shocks all around.
