Fourth Landy Improvement

Today marked another landy improvement project, the 4th in the series so far. I have long eyed a change in shock absorbers. There was an earlier plan last year to bring in some shocks from the UK but the plan fell through. So once again the hunt for new shocks led to Nam Seng, who carried a pretty good stock of Koni Shock absorbers.

After much consideration, I took the plunge at got in installed today. See below specifications of the ones I installed.


KONI Heavy Track™ SPX Performance Shocks

Tested in the rough deserts of Morocco, Heavy Track SPX Performance shock absorbers ensure greater stability and greater stamina for both drivers and vehicles off-road. On the road, you can count on greater comfort, a higher level of safety, more stability and better road holding. In short, Heavy Track SPX Performance shock absorbers are perfect 'all road' shock absorbers, regardless of driving conditions.

KONI Heavy Track™ SPX Performance Shocks Offer Additional Features:

Compress-to-adjust design allows adjustable dampening for on or off-road conditions.
Twin-tube design improves ride quality and durability.
Steel stone guard for maximum protection of piston rod and seal.
Damper characteristics specially tuned for off-road use.
Specially set bottom valve for 4x4 use.
Larger reservoir with more oil for improved heat transfer.


The bright red shocks look quite good

Verdict so far: money well spent! the ride is smoother and soaks up most of the minor irregularities on the road. The car is slightly higher than before, giving the Landy a good ride height. Actually, it did not raise the truck just rather bringing it back closer to original.

Now I wonder when and what will be the 5th landy improvement.
