Old Man Emu suspension
« on: Oct 28, 2004, 08:58:40 PM »
Anybody running their springs and shocks on the mini trucks.  Was thinking about getting their kit for my 85 DD but wanted some feedback before I plop down all the money for it.

dude, Old man emu is WAY  $$$  if you haul stuff get Marlins,  if you want smooth ride get downeys,  im probably going to do marlins front and downey rears  :wave:


$1200 for a front and rear springs is outragous

you get a lot more than front and rear springs for $1200!  if you just want springs they'll run 600 or so for front and rear.  for $1200 it's probably the full kit, shackles, shocks and all

i've never heard a bad thing about OME's springs, and they're the only low-lift springs i'd ever consider(seeing that NWOR is the only other company to make anything under 3" any more)
