Hello LR team, so like many of you recently I was faced with replacing my rear struts on my L320 Range Rover Sport & it had me thinking do I replace them with Genuine rear struts at a bank breaking price or do I look into an aftermarket set? After reading many reviews & watching YouTube reviews 90% stuck with Genuine or OEM struts.
I then came across a new product offered at Maxpeedingrods that was a direct replacement for OEM suspension without the need to modify which was also backed with a 1yr warranty with a price of $547 AUD for the pair which was a lot cheaper than the current Delphi branded rears I currently had installed and quoted to replace, so I reached out to the team to find out some more information.
Straight away I was impressed with the customer service responding to my emails within the hour answering all my questions & were only happy to help which these days unfortunately is getting hard to find.
I decided really what have I got to lose? I either spend a small fortune on Genuine & maybe get 2yrs out of them before needing to replace again or if this product is as good as the team say then I’m able to replace the worn-out rear suspension for a fraction of the price and be backed with 1 yr. warranty then maybe that’s a better way to go, so I ordered them.
Now I was expecting 2-week shipping time but 3 days later they arrive at my door not knowing they have warehouses in Australia. I was also impressed with how the struts were packaged very professionally & everything done to prevent shipping damage. I have to say I wasn’t expecting too much from a cheap set of struts, but I was wrong the build quality & finish looked better than some higher end struts I’ve seen.
It was time to fit & test so booked in with my LR specialist who will fit customer supplied parts. (For those that don’t understand what I mean by that) is many mechanical businesses in Australia will not fit customer supplied parts because they’re meant to supply warranty to the items fitted. Whether this is just a monopoly of the system to pull more profits from customers by not allowing customers to do their own research and shop around for a better price or to protect businesses from customers who blame them for the product they supplied failing? I’d say both, but if it’s my vehicle I like to have control on what I do to it & if that means I source my own parts & pay the labour to have fitted & happy to not be providing warranty on the fitment then so be it.
The mechanic had no issues with fitment everything went is as expected & no leaks were found, he was also impressed with the build quality.
Road testing time: Ride quality was actually really good & if I was to say anything negative at all it would only be that its slightly stiffer ride when hitting bumps on the road more like the feel of a sport suspension setup, other than that car felt very solid on the road & when making height changes had no issues. I let the car sit for a couple days to see if any leaks were evident in which there was none, car sat evenly on all sides.
Will it last?? That’s the million-dollar question which only time will tell but if I do have
any issues, I’ll be sure to update you all.
Look guys, if you’re like me and like to shop around & find a good deal don’t hesitate to contact the team at Maxpeedingrods or jump onto the website https://bit.ly/4aM7I8o & see what they have available for your car, I rate them highly for their customer service, fast shipment, quality packaging, good heavy duty build quality & ride performance.
