Ironman - OME
Hi, my name is Christian from Austria. I own a Patrol KR 260 built in 1988 with a 3.3D Engine. Some parts seems to be from the KR 160. The car was manufactured for the National Guard in Spain as a heavy duty version. I need your help! Can you help me in determine which model it is from the sight of Old Man Emu or Ironman? Which model do I have to order? Does anyone have experience in this new suspension? Which one is better do you think? And one of the most important questions: I want to order it in USA because of the ex rate Euro-Dollar. At the moment it is extremly "cheap" for us to buy in $. Does anybody knows an online store for me? I would like to buy a suspension from OME or Ironman and some other parts from ARB. Please help! Thanks in advance, Christian

don't buy IronMan...their customer service sucks big time. You also have a fairly good chance of getting the wrong product from them or at least parts of the product. I was ripped off by the old USA IronMan dealer and he still owes me $200 on product he could not deliver. IronMan of Australia could care less. Currently there is no USA distributor of IronMan. OME is a way better bet...but there is also many companies that makes suspension for Patrols in Australia...TuffDog, 4-way, Dobinsons, Direct, Pedders and some more. Shop around is my advice. Choose the suspension by spring ratings that fit your desires. Check price and see what kind of service you get from inquires to the various companies. Personally I can reccomnd Direct Suspension, Dobinsons and Pedders is alright. I myself am a USA distributor for Direct and I was one for Dobinsons. Why buy via the USA though? Seems to me the exchange rate will be better from you to Australia. Their dollar is worth less than the USA dollar....best of luck.
