hi all just wondering if any one has put profenders coil overs on their prado as I am looking into the idea at this stage and would like some feed back on their performance

Yeh i do, I have 4" superior eng kit with the profender remote res shocks/struts.

Did approx 30,000km including a pretty tough cape trip and they worked great with no shock fade in really heavy corrugations.
Quality seems ok but the reservoirs are fairly big and mouthing them was tricky.

Keeping in mind they are a budget type shock and are alot cheaper then some of the other bigger brands, but they have been good so far. Though for the extra few $ I'd go Amarda extreme as they seem to be a bit better looking and reservoirs arnt so bulky.. But that's an assumption as i havnt used them before.

I think he means these ones Brad. Not the remote res struts that come in the kit. I was also wondering if these compare with coilovers from the states, although I wont be buying anything anytime soon.

Ok fixed it up. My bad, was playing around with my photobucket after I posted it.

yeah joshy that's the one I was one about but really any info would be nice sick of changing the strut bushes. plus im also looking at going up to the cape in 2015 so just starting to put thing in to place.

Yeh i dont have those, they look good but the coil is alot smaller so i wonder how it will handle the severe corrugations of the cape.
