Shocks & Struts
« on: July 21, 2004, 08:12:50 AM »
I want to stiffen up the ride of my GV.  I have looked at the OME shocks and struts through RRO, but the cost of shipping and duty into Canada makes this is a VERY expensive option.

Tokico makes a high-pressure gas shock/strut for the GV.  Has anybody tried them?

What brand of shocks/struts have you tried on a GV to stiffen up the ride?

I wouldn't use the OME struts if you are trying to stiffen the ride.  They are a softer ride than the stock struts.  The calmini struts are stiff.

The OME struts are longer than the stock GV struts.
