osc3 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Hey. Hope all is good. Im looking at upgrading the shocks on my 2k7 SE. I noticed shocks like bilstein and rancho only show frontiers and armadas on their catalogs. Why are path performance parts so damn rare? anyways, which shock do you recommend?

Its because pathfinders get ZERO love from aftermarket suppliers...If you go rancho get higher quality ones, ive heard the 5000's are garbage...Ive never heard a bad thing about Bilsteins, they are just very stiff and unforgiving in the city...and if they have KYB's for yours I would look into that, I love the KYB's on my 97 And welcome to NPORA...we need more R51 members to join and start making those things badass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exploited789 Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 (edited) welcopme to npora, i have procomp es9000 they work great, ranchos are notorious for being stiff on the street, it comes down to personal preference Edited April 11, 2008 by exploited789 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeV Posted April 15, 2008 Share Posted April 15, 2008 Ranchos are rough? (if ya mount them upside down maybe!-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jitterymonkey Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 (edited) Welcome to the forum. Old Man Emu makes a lift and shocks for 05-06 R51s. Not sure if they fit your 07 though http://www.rocky-road.com/pathfindersus.html Edited April 16, 2008 by jitterymonkey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyBrick Posted May 25, 2008 Share Posted May 25, 2008 You might want to check out Nissan options as well. The Pathfinder Offroad model comes with OEM Bilsteins and the 08V8 comes with stiffer shocks as well. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillageIdiot Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 Heh...I just sold an RC51.... Anyways. What will stop the terrible bounce you get when you have people in the back. I hit a bump that other day with 4 people in the pathfinder and it felt like the end was being shot up into space. I can deal with a stiffer ride as long as there's a bit more performance there. Is that also a result of having big ass tires with some what stiff shocks? After all, I was used to 30-40 series tires on my car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
94extreme Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 stiffer shocks = better w/ heavy load Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skywhr Posted July 28, 2008 Share Posted July 28, 2008 stiffer shocks = better w/ heavy load Rancho makes shocks for the r51, go to products>nissan>other applications Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdslug Posted July 30, 2008 Share Posted July 30, 2008 I recently got the Old Man Emu suspension lift on my 2005 SE. springs and shocks... gives about a 2" lift. There were some problems getting it aligned, but other than that, I like it pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LandShark Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Looks very nice man. You plan on going with bigger tires or going to stay the same for a while? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
