I've just had delivered from South Africa my lovely new Camil Front Coilover shocks. They are going on a trip to Germany and the Allrad show on Wednesday 25th May for five day camping trip. We shall see how they perform!!

Interesting, no clearance issues and you removed the torsion bars?

I don't see the Pajero listed on their products page or application guide, did you have to custom order them and what was the cost? I personally really like my OME torsion and shock setup, just wondering how cost effective or prohibitive the coilovers might be seeing as how you do not gain any suspension travel.

No clearance issues, I went for the same ones as the Mitsubishi Colt / L200 pick up. Torsion bars are still in place, they are designed to give more push on the road over just having a Torsion bar. I have now wound my bars back to factory and a little test drive revealed that I have downward travel back again. I still have the same flex as you would normally get without them but better handling. Plus I'm not looking for a rock crawling machine just good overland rough track travel.

Oh interesting. How well will the upper shock mount carry the added stress? I didn't like the Torsen bars honestly.

Could care less about suspension travel on ifs, just end up breaking cvs or tie rods, but would be nice to have a progressive spring rate. Can you remove the torsion bars with these? I dont mind both but would give that extra clearance and less weight.
