Koni - to Raid or not?
Koni have the 'normal' Track Raid shocks that I've always used and had very good milage and value from over the last 14 years in a few sets, even if they have doubled in price without changing.
It's now time to proactively change them out again, and wondering if the larger and more expensive 'Heavy Track Raid' offer any benefits?
Vehicle is a 1991 Defender Hard Top with expedition equipment used for long trips in Africa
LR Heavy Duty Springs, 130 helper springs at the back.
Dual koni shocks at rear.
Single Koni shocks at front
No ARB's fitted
Advantages I can see:
- do away with dual shocks at the rear.
- carry less spares as less likely to fail?
