HAs anyone here tried these on a VX yet (OME firm Nitrocharger shocks)? I have them on my Landcruiser and 4Runner and love them, especially the firm (reminds me of the VX's ride).
I want to know if they are as firm as the OE shocks (which I like, with the seperate resevoiur, extruded aluminum, gold finish, etc. but they fail too damn early).
I need something other than stock, as Im done hassling with the dealer on replacing the oe shocks. 2 where bad, and when first taking to the dealer, they said they were fine. I had to remove a good an bad one and show them the compression difference. They only get paid to look, not remove. No leaks, test drive ok, then no problem. They dont realize how stiff the VX ride normally is. Now I think the other 2 (1 front and 1 rear - right side) are going - I can tell, but arent totally shot yet. Dealer says they are fine (what else would I expect). But soon my 2nd owner 3 year 50,000 mile basic warranty is gonna run up, and my Isuzu extended doesnt cover shocks.
