    OME spring part numbers

    in 96-2004 R50 Pathfinders

    Posted

    Thanks...unfortunately I have the "Black Sheep" edition Pathfinder...97 SE...so no such thing as aftermarket parts. Nothing in that link for my Pathy.

     

    Here's the link for the pre-facelift R50:

     

    '96-'99 R50

     

    Thanks for clearing up the coil question. I had no idea OME made different "sizes" of coils; I thought they were all ~1.75" lift coils. Definitely opens up more in terms of versatility, though.

    I think what he means is the sway bar is there for a reason. It's difficult to have both on-road stability and off-road flexibility with IFS set-ups, and this is very much the case with the R50.

     

    With the front swaybar connected, I had no complaints off the pavement. Actually, I was happy with how it 'performed' on the trails.

     

    If only the front sway bar could be disconnected as easily as the rear... :rolleyes:

    finally got my lift and tires on

    the jet v-force is pretty much a modual but when i put it in she seamed a little bit more jumpy. it plugs into your MAF/MAP and your throttle sensor, you can also plug it into your o2 sensor but i havent done that yet... all in all i think its worth it but thats just me.

     

    Cool. :)

     

    Definitely keep us up to speed on what you notice in terms of efficiency, output increase, acceleration, etc. Kudos on taking the plunge with something new! :aok:

    Just wanted to take a moment to thank my Secret Santa, Andrew Nolten, for his awesome gift! :beer:

    Now I just need somewhere to mount these bad boys! Hopefully I can get a roof rack on which to mount them.

     

    Thanks again! I'm definitely happy to have been part of SS2010! :jig:

    Sway Bar Tie Up

    I dont know how it worked out like that, all I know is that my struts no longer top out (well actually once but I was baja'ing a speed bump at 25mph :handlebars: ) Body roll was also increased...maybe it has something to do with the vehicle weight being higher up? I cant really tell you why all I know is that its awesome.

     

    No sway bars makes it mo bettah

     

    Mo bettah... :lol:

     

    With the SFD installed, your COG is definitely higher, which means decreased stability when turning. But good to know your struts no longer top out... even with the AC coils?

     

    I wonder, with the AC coils installed, what it be like to go sway bar-less up front.

     

    That was for the rear sway bar if I was not mistaken. I have had my rear sway bar off for 2 years now LoL

     

    +1. If you have aftermarket coils, the rear sway bar becomes pretty redundant.

    With the typical suspension lift (AC, OME), you should be able to fit ~32" tires with little to no rubbing. Just make sure your wheels have adequate backspacking/offset (<3.75") to clear the strut.

    Well I have heard from a few people that the front does have flex without the sway bars. I know for a fact Boston runs without one as did stryker. And Tyler, you will understand once you get a sfd...the suspension seems alot more plush per say

     

    More plush with the SFD? :scratchhead:

     

    How's modifying the subframe going to change the 'feel' of the suspension?
