NastyPathy Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 You guys think it would be ok to just put the EMU coils in the rear of my truck and replce my front struts with stock ones instead of doing the whole thing. Iam just trying to fix my sag in the rear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trialsin26 Posted August 6, 2005 Share Posted August 6, 2005 Nasty- I rode with just the rear coils for a couple of months untill I saved up for the front. Your pathfinder will be alot higher in the rear then you would thing. It will look like you are going down hill all the time. Plus the coils are rated different so your pathfinder will feel a little funny. It will ride stiff in the rear and soft up front. I would recommend getting both the front and rear coils since you are replacing the front struts anyway. I would do it all at once and I think you would be happier with the feel and look.

01PathySE Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 I just installed my KYB GR-2 Struts and OME Spring and Shocks yesterday along with a set of 265/70 Dueler AT Revo's and I LOVE it. I gained about 3" in the back and close to 2" up front with this combo over stock. The rear is a bit higher but it doesn't bother me at all. The ride is also alot better, which might mostly be due to the new tires as my old ones were beat but it swallows up holes and bumps alot better and rides alot tighter.

dwrounds Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 01PATHYSE, Did you install the stiff springs up front? I only got .5 inch in the front and 2" in the rear, and it really bugs me how it is so uneven. I'm thinking of throwing the 2" springs up front. dwrounds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveWA Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 You'll have to excuse me for saying things when I don't know anything about Pathfinders yet. I used to run OME coils on my Jeep. After 12 months they sagged nearly an inch! They have a great ride and good flex but maybe I'd try and find some other type of coil. Sorry this is only my experience having them on a Jeep. The shocks were good though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember I also installed a nearly 1.5" taller tire at the same time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merlinx Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 I have a 97 and I just installed the OMEs on the rear. Its nice but the front is much lower and softer. I ordered the front OMEs and should receive them Wednesday. I just went with Monroe gas charged shocks. I got them from Davsport. They were pretty quick on shiping. Called Rocky and they wernt sure when it would @!*% so I went with Davesport Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
