Hallo manne, laat weet sodra julle die "upgrade" gedoen het as ASB . . . Ek soek bevestiging dat die groceries die gerief/rit/gemak van die FT sommer BAIE gaan verbeter. Kan nie die stamperigheid "handle"nie, maak die vroutjie se lyf te eina met die ongeskiktheids-toestand wat sy het. Indien wel, sal ek my bestelling ook insit sodra ek terug is in die land, 8 Maart.

DJ, ander coils sal beslis nie jou FT laat sagter ry nie! Sal my kop op n blok sit! Die standaard coils is die sagtste wat jy kan gaan, entlik te sag! Maak nie saak wat enige salesman jou vertel nie

Dankie Tal . . . . . so as ek ietsie sagter soek, moet ek maar die ander ouens se raad aanvaar en eerder vir AMANDA aantree . . . . Wonder wat sal "Antie Poppie" daarvan se . . . . .

Quoted from "Diesel-Junkie"
My Mikem suspensie (progressive coils) ry definitief sagter as standaard maar met minder body role. Die lift is egter net 40mm en hy kan nie heeltemal so gelaai word soos meeste van die ander harder coils nie, maar nog steeds heelwat meer as standaard.
As jy gaan overland met 'n vrag of baie meer clearance soek sou ek gaan vir die stywer coils. Vir kombinasie van rygerief en as jy nie graad 5 obstacles gaan aanvat nie is die progressives 'n goeie plan.

Darryl @ Mikem will sort you out!
I fitted Bilsteins and progressive coils, he also has other coils depending on your needs.
Hi Wayne have you fitted the Bilsteins and coils. If you did how is your ride.

a quick question and all opinions are welcome
I am looking to upgrade my suspension a bit and have heard that a good upgrade which is suited for offroad driving (not 4x4,just gravel road) is a camil set for the front and Monroe heavy duty shocks for the rear.
how do you guys rate camil?

I'm running a Camil and Monroe combination on my other 4x4. I can tell you it's well worth it in a bakkie with torsion bars and leaf springs.
But it is no way near the correct suspension for the Fortuner at all. All the camil offers is a lift.
Unfortunately there is no easy away around suspension on a fortuner, I done it cheaply and had failed shocks within 8 000km. It's not worth it. Rather save up and get something decent.

Mikem Suspension Upgrade
I had my suspension upgraded by Mikem last week - wow super impressed. Went for progressive coils and Bilstein shocks for a lift of 50mm. What a massive improvement - naturally the vehicle stands higher, which looks cool. But, there is a huge improvement in the rebound rate, with familiar road imperfections being dealt with so much more composure now. Despite the increase in height, body roll is reduced.
The team at Mikem were totally professional and checking and ensuring that the setup would meet my challenging requirements.
