I was flogging them because I was given a prototype set of parabolics to test in the desert.
The fronts worked fine on trip 1, then broke right through on trip 2 (same happened to a mate in an LR with same paras). I flogged the Ironmen in Tam so came home on the bump stop.
The back paras fitted for trip 2 (see 'Few Dollars' report) were hopelessly soft even before I pulled out of the yard - so I floggd them in Djanet and refitted the OMEs which I had bought just in case and was going to sell on the way back home.
Moral: You cant get a quart out of a pint pot (or whatever it goes like) - or - 2 thick springs are less than 6 or 7 thin springs. My new chunky fronts arrive tomorrow from Italy. Luckily I can do a spring swap blindfold now...
OME - vg but expensive - I am amazed the hammering they take.
Ironman - a bit crappy but cheap
Protobolics - not up to desert driving
Italian h/d fronts - dky
