Pro Comp Suspension should I?
« on: February 06, 2008, 12:24:43 PM »
I was looking around 4wheelparts online and found that they really have a good deal for some pro comp suspension. I have a stock 92 tintop geo tracker and the shocks are blown. so I just want to replace them with something close to stock if not a little better then stock and would last until my next supsension upgrade! any suggestions?

the set i am looking at are Explorer Pro Comp Pro Comp ES1000 Shocks - Set of 4 Shocks Along with a ES2000 Steering Stabilizer all for $129.99

also Explorer Pro Comp Pro Comp ES9000 Shocks - Set of 4 Shocks Along with a ES2000 Steering Stabilizer all for $149.99

let me know what you guys think! i dont know anything about pro comps or any suspesion for off roading  :P. Im used to coilovers for little rice burners  :laugh: such as tein, skunk2's, buddy club, etc... any help with off road shocks would be cool! thanks guys! ::)

of course the gas would be better right? when i do a little canyon running in my crx, the crx comes stock from the factory with gas shocks in the rear, when i had to do a quick replacement, we used some monroes which were oil, man did they suck! so im thinking that the es3000 is a better deal right?

I don't think that Pro Comp make a front strut for the Tracker/Kick's - you might want to ask about that.

yeah, thats what i noticed when big_kountry21 metioned about the 2 front struts. i wonder if they can make a deal out of it when i go to purchase them on my next pay day. hopefully they can work something out  :-\

this is way out of my topic, i was just looking around on ebay, i wanna change the front geo grill out with the real suzuki sidekick grill, there is nothing really diffrent about them besides the grill design is hardly diffrent and the logo's am i right? they can be swaped out between the too identically?
