    Has anyone looked at upgrading the factory fitted shocks?

    Most people do. Factory shocks are quite alright if not carrying heavy loads or 4 wdriving. I use Bilsteins as many others do. They appear to be the preferred choice. Others also use different makes with good results as well. Do a search on the site and the answer will be there.


    Wouldnt hurt to introduce yourself and tell us a little about you and your vehicle. In your signature area it may pay to list the year and model of your vehicle so others can repond accordingly.

      Welcome to the Forum Geoff,

      Best thread to look at is;


      It is only early days in the Pajero Sport suspension development but it will be very similar to the MQ Triton front and the PB/PC Challenger rear.

      Can you share what you reason is for the question and what loads you are wanting to carry and what terrain traversed.

      cheers, OJ.

            Looks like RAW have shocks to suit the PS, although probably carry over from the Challenger. Fronts look interesting being 46mm monotube.

              I have a feeling as they say from 2009 onwards they are referring only to the Challenger's (Pajero Sport Thailand Pre MY16 model) ....

                  One size does not fit all. As OJ says... "I already know that the factory rear coils are too soft for my personal taste. "
