Shocks!

[osc3]

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

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

Welcome to the forum.

 

Old Man Emu makes a lift and shocks for 05-06 R51s.

Not sure if they fit your 07 though

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.

Actually my pathfinder off road edition came with Ranchos, and its an 05 SE off road edition.

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.

stiffer shocks = better w/ heavy load

stiffer shocks = better w/ heavy load

 

 

Rancho makes shocks for the r51, go to products>nissan>other applications

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.

Looks very nice man. You plan on going with bigger tires or going to stay the same for a while?

I cant wait till my dad gets around to lifting his 05 LE... i think it would look B.A.
