pro comp es1000/3000/9000

Post by AshR1 » Fri Sep 26, 2014 8:31 pm

ordering some pro comp shocks soon, not sure which ones would be best for my samurai? read online the 9000 are for heavier vehicles and i should use the 1000's? any opinions on this at all? or any one else use this suspension and have views on it??

thanks

I've only heard rather unflattering remarks when it comes to ProComps, I replaced my old shocks with KYB's and they are brilliant, and only £19 each.

Are you going for standard length or extended?

Speak to dave at llama 4x4

Pro comps are crap. Much better shocks from face which are rough country .

Tbh I had procomp es3000s on for years
They are rock hard and I probably wouldn't use them again unless I was racing over gravel (they were really good for that!!!)
Haven't tried the 1000 myself but they should be a lot softer
I would t buy any pro comps new but wouldn't turn down some 2nd hand 1000s if the price was right
