Who to talk to at Rocky Road?
« on: November 08, 2004, 12:52:25 PM »
Does anyone know the name of a rep at Rocky Road that is particularly knowledgeable about suspensions?  I have called twice and talked to people that were somewhat but not extremely knowledgeable about EMU products.

I'm looking to soften the thump in the rear when I go over bumps and cracks on the street.  Will replacing just the rear shocks with the DT's help this?  If not can I just replace the springs and shocks in the rear with the EMU units?  I'm not looking for lift here just a better ride.  I'd like to stay away from doing the front as I'm a little more apprehensive about doing that myself due to the added complexity and the alignment issues.  Plus the added cost of the spring and struts in the front.

Do you have any lift at all right now? Are you running stock shocks?

Right now it is totally stock.  If I don't get this riding better I will have to trade it.  I have a headache every night when I get home from work after driving it.  I never had this problem with my 90.  I am inclined to go with the full kit if that will give the smoothest ride.  Do the coil spacers make a difference either way?

My 96 just had bad rear shocks.  It would give a jolting bounce over the concrete hwy expansion joints.  My 98 is much better.   Both are stock 2 dr conv 4wds.

EMU ALL THE WAY. I almost had my mom trading her 03 camery in on a G,vitara after she rode in my 94 tracker with emu. The only reson she didn't is becouse the suzuki dealer sucks.
