I disagree. I read a very thorough comparison of the Koni/Bilstein and Old Man EMu shocks on one of the pro landrover sites. In the end there was no comparison with the Old Man EMu winning by a mile. They are heavier built, double tube, and much more suitable to off roading. I think the reason is that if you 4wheel in OZ, (maybe we should get Trop and MistaBishi in here for their opinions..) there is a TON of the most serious washboard you ever saw. When I was down there, you'd go hundred's of miles driving over what felt like railroad ties...this is where Old Man Emu stuff is developed. I would suggest strongly you investigate those shocks.
seer <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" /> I personally would stick to a Monotube design not double tube.since a double tube has an inner and outer tube the inner tube is the one that contains the piston and is too small in my opinion, to provide enough dampening for the montero .but thats just me, take into consideration the terain your mosty likely to be driving. I had a pair of monroes on my old SR for about a day...way too squishy for me. If I wanted a ride like that I would of bought an escalade <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
