Ultimate vs Enhanced 4wd suspension

[cryonicjason]

Need some advice guys.

Went into the local 4wd/tyre shop and asked about getting the glx-rs suspension upgraded. Given Ultimate is the bees knees according to NTN i told them thats what i wanted put on...

But they've never heard of them! I showed them the ultimate suspension website but werent too impressed about the 2year warranty on them, compared to the 3year/100,000km on EFS.

Anyway they gave me a brochure for EFS suspension to look at and they do look the goods.

Has anyone used EFS on their tritons before? They are willing to get the ultimates in, but not real keen as they've never heard of Ultimate before, which i think is understandable.

Not sure what to do.

All this tells me is that EFS spend more money on advertising than Ultimate.
I would go off word of mouth VS what you see in a catalog. There is a whole section put together on the Ultimate gear. If you do a search you will see that it is the preferred suspension package for Triton owners.

EFS it is then

Go with efs and see what happens?

Mate if you don't believe what everyone on here says then dont ask the question again!
There is a reason why we ALL have Ultimate under our trucks!

After your 3 year warranty is up if it lasts that long (sag or break) they will charge you again for a whole new set, Ultimate rebuild their shocks.

Ultimate is the best suspension for your truck hence why we all have it! They customize it for what you want. Not like the off the shelf shit from everyone else!!!!!!!

Probably works for EFS.

You can figure out what is best and recommended from even a passing glance of the forum suspension thread. If you have to ask after that then you have already made up your mind or work for the other company and are stirring the pot.

This question has been asked before somewhere. EFS never gets a great wrap. What's going on with the reference to Elite suspension in the title anyway?

It's just a name.. Like RAW 'nitro' by the looks. Been watching too much 'all 4 adventure' on tv.

Ouch at being called a company shill ROFLx1billion

Re-reading the brochure i was given, the company is infact "Enhanced 4WD suspension" oops

Geez people are touchy. Perhaps mods can change the topic title please?

You can change it yourself. Edit your first post...

I have EFS and would NEVER get it again I have had nothing but trouble with the front struts being to soft and bouncy. At first they put heavier springs in but it was still too soft so they replaced the struts and it was still too soft and bouncy. They said they would look in to it and get some different struts down from QLD but I never heard back

Thankyou- this is exactly the info i need to support my reasoning for originally wanting "ultimate" suspension.

Searching for Enhanced 4wd suspension came up with exactly one thread. How helpful.

MAKE THAT 2 I got 11 mths out off efs

Did they mention that Ultimate's warranty is 2yrs or 80,000km.... Whichever comes LAST!! (not first as is the norm)

At my current rate, my suspension will be covered for 5+ yrs

Due to driving styles........
Yourself and geek have your own warranty periods called "null and void"

Have the 2inch comfort lift in my triton from ultimate suspension and love it .... It's like night and day

And they don't just treat you like a number great team they have there

Ultimate suspension all the way

[Dunga71]

Agree with Tony have had mine in for nearly 12 months all my measurements are still the same as when it was fitted,you can ring and drop in with any queries and there straight onto it for you,BIG thumps up for the Ultimate Team from me

[cryonicjason]

Ok guys thanks for your responses regarding EFS. Summary: no good lol. As I said in the OP I do want to fit ultimates, so no disrespect intended there. I should point out that I live in country sa so it's not like I can drive over to the guys at ultimate rofl.

[alpine triton]

Get it delivered to you and get someone local to fit it or if you're good on the tools have a crack at it yourself
My ultimate kit is being shipped to Vic from Sydney at the moment, getting a local mechanic to fit it for me

Ok I'm coming up to my 35 year driving
And my triton is my tenth car
I've put new suspension in
most cars I've had with varying levels of success..
it's the cheapest and most cost effective performance mod (and enjoyable) you can do to a car/truck and I hate shity handling...
Ultimate by far has the best holistic custom approach to suspension....with back up and sales...second to none..period..
