Post by WRNGLR »

Any feedback from all who have Raw nitro's on their 4x4's, would be keen to hear what you think

old man has them on his 80. reckon they real good compared to anything else he's had. Did have an issue of deformed piston that stuff a seal but they come to the party and replaced it.
FYI they a real cheap on t/m. Even cheaper than the trade price at bnt

Thanks for feedback everyone, decided to go with the Nitro's , price was well within budget so got a steering damper as well, put them all in today, had some issues but nothing major, Pins that were provided had slimmer ends than the old ones, had to pack them a little so eye of shock was clear of mount. Also rear mounts on diff were a little narrow for the crush tube provided with shocks so had to get creative there, but now all in. Drove it to work tonight and although different I wouldn't call the ride harsh, more firm, but that may be because the old ones were really stuffed. Anyway well see how they go. Also got a free shirt and some stickers, yay

cheers
Greg
