ZF Sachs is a German manufacturer of automotive parts, producing powertrain and suspension components. Sachs automotive products find applications on all types of vehicles, and while it primarily focused on larger vehicles, they also provide chassis and driveline products for passenger cars. Sachs engages in the development, production, and supply of automotive suspension and transmission components, including shock absorbers, strut mounts, bearings and bump stops. Sachs components are available from Climax Suspension.
Sachs shock absorbers use high-quality materials, robust designs and precision manufacturing to guarantee a long service life while minimizing your replacement costs. The chromium-plated polished piston rod guarantees maximum corrosion resistance and the piston rod guide features a hydraulic traction stop for precise, gentle stroke limitation, smoothing the ride on the roughest roads. Sachs Super Touring range is setting the standard for shock absorbers; they are developed and produced with the competence of a leading OEM, and stand for safety, reliability and durability. Alternatively, Sachs Advantage range is for the highest demands in all driving situations. Individually adapted to each vehicle for handling and driving stability it combines sportiness with comfort.
Sachs service kits consist of compression stops or auxiliary springs and bellows or protective tubes and have the following functions:
Service kits substantially contribute to the durability of shock absorbers.
Sachs suspension strut mounts are the upper mounting point of the shock absorber. They support the vehicle weight, makes steering possible, depending on the axle design, and dampen rolling noises and vibrations. The suspension strut mount is heavily strained in day-to-day driving and exposed to different weather conditions. The consequences of a defect range from increased noise generation and longer stopping distances to the loss of exact wheel guidance. Therefore, it is recommended to replace the suspension strut mount every time the shock absorber is replaced.
Pioneers of quality headers featuring the “Mandrel Bend” System. This type of bending system allows the tube to be bent, without altering its original shape and size, which in turn enhances flow and appearance. Some header manufacturers do not have access to this system while others mix and match mandrel bends with ordinary press bends. At PACEMAKER, every bend is a mandrel bend.
Our modern workshop incorporates the very latest equipment available, including our aircraft quality computerised Benders with revolutionary, patented, vertebrate type mandrel, ensuring perfectly round bends, previously unavailable in Australia.
Additional Features include:
Pacemaker are the only Australian Header manufacturer to manufacture their products with Pipe Over Cone™ technology. Traditionally, header manufacturers welded protruding secondary and outlet pipes to manufacture headers. At PACEMAKER, we developed the pipe over cone technology. All PACEMAKER headers are manufactured with the pipes flared and welded over the collector cone, so nothing protrudes inside the collector cone, therefore increasing exhaust gas flow and eliminating turbulence inside the exhaust header. The result is better gas flow and increased horsepower.
Introducing PACEMAKER'S own "King Brown"® performance 4x4 exhaust systems. "King Brown"® exhaust systems are designed and manufactured right here in Australia by the industry leaders in performance exhaust, PACEMAKER, by using the very latest in manufacturing and bending technologies together with the very best suited materials such as OEM grade 409 Stainless Steel to produce the very best 4x4 performance exhausts available.
409 Stainless Steel is designed to stretch and flex from the normal tension loads generated by heat stress and engine vibration. As a final touch, "King Brown"® exhaust systems are finished in a light signature coloured "King Brown"® snake skin appearance coating helping to keep your "King Brown" system looking and performing great for years to come.
Have a look @ pacemaker king brown s/steel 3 inch system. Had mine fitted about 3 months ago on BT Auto. Is more reponsive!
I too have fitted a Pacemaker King Brown SS 3inch sytem on my BT XTR Auto and I agree. Much smoother and more responsive. Mine has a high flow cat. Yes it is more expensive than ebay. But the wall thickness and quality are much better.
So whether you're just stuck in daily grind of day to day traffic or plan to tow the caravan to the centre of Australia, "King Brown"® is built tough enough to take on the largest of Aussie challengers!
If you want performance, reliability and national support you need look no further because DTS has all the answers.

Since 1993, Tuff Tonneaus' quality products have earned an enviable reputation throughout Australia and New Zealand. Tuff Tonneaus are the major supplier of tonneau and tonneau accessories to all the top name aftermarket chains in Australia as well as many more independent operators. We have distribution channels across Australia and Europe as well as supplying major automotive manufacturers in Australia.
My vote of thanks for the fantastic product: I bought a Tuff Tonneau three years ago and it’s been on my old HQ Ute ever since. I was impressed in the perfect fit and the fact that no matter what the weather throws at it, it performs brilliantly. It’s never leaked, it never moves about and when I load the old Ute up there’s enough flexibility to mould around most things. The old girls sit outside everyday in a salty and heavily corrosive environment. The Tuff Tonneau only ever needs a quick scrub and wash to look its best in no time at all. Pity the old Ute doesn’t clean up so easily! Thanks fellas, if I buy another brand of Ute, I’ll be buying another one, but I’m sure this one will outlast my old HQ.

We wish to advise you that we received our Ute Lid at 4pm. It took us longer to unpack and dispose of the packaging than it did to fit the lid. I am 79 years old and with the help of my wife we took 1 hour to fit this Lazerback. Thank you for a lovely item it really looks good. If you wish to use this for promotion you can quote me....
To all the staff HAVE A NICE CHRISTMAS and thank you again.

AL-KO shock absorbers are the smart solution for replacement parts by providing a better balance between safety and comfort, improving the features so that the driver regains his/her faith in their car and thus achieving greater driving safety. The AL-KO replacement shock absorber provides better tyre contact with the road and a considerable shortening of the braking distance.
The exceptional behaviour of the AL-KO shock absorber is based on the design of the Monoblock system that obtains a uniform pressurization in the entire travelled distance with the self purging system of the chambers and which achieves high performance, thermostability and low friction.
AL-KO, a pioneer in the manufacture of shock absorbers in Spain, offers a wide range of shock absorbers and suspension elements, backed by its engineering versatility that provides innovative technical solutions to meet the needs of its customers.
This fact has lead AL-KO to carry out – in all its plants – major investments in research and testing facilities, as well as in expansions and refurbishments with the objective of implementing a flexible, efficient and profitable production, also in small series. All this serves to make AL-KO a competent party in developing effective solutions in the field of suspension.

TOYOTA PRADO 150
The Toyota Prado 150 Series has a tow restriction of 2500kgs and ball weight capacity of 250kg due to inadequate factory fitted suspension. We are able to increase the towing capacity to 3000kg and ball weight capacity to 300kg by fitting our Bilstein Smart Suspension System and through comprehensive ADR testing procedures by our unrestricted VSCCS Engineers at our federal test facility (T15250).
As a part of the test procedure we load cell test the factory Toyota tow bar system to the AS4177.1 Standard up to 3000kg tow capacity and supply a re-rated tow capacity plate.
We are the pioneers of this certification, and are able to increase the GCM at the same time we increase the towing capacity. All the relevant testing is performed using state of the art equipment and documentation is supplied by our fully qualified unrestricted engineers.
MITSUBISHI PAJERO NM-NX
The Mitsubishi Pajero December 2006 to current model has a tow restriction for the ball weight of 180kgs when towing up to 3000kgs. This is due to the inadequate factory fitted suspension and affects most dual axle caravan towing applications.
We are able to increase the ball weight from 180kgs to 300kgs of “down weight” at the higher tow capacity, this is done by increasing the rate of the rear suspension components including the addition of air bags. To achieve this we professionally fit and wheel align the rear suspension using our Smart Suspension System which includes German built high pressure 46mm Bilstein shock absorbers, Australian made Lovells Coil Springs and rear Polyair air bags.
The improvements are outstanding, offering an exceptional ride with superior road holding and load carrying capabilities.
Our in-house RMS/VSCCS Engineers have performed comprehensive relevant ADR and stability testing on this system/vehicle. Each individual vehicle is reference tested for braking and roll stability as part of the testing procedure. We also load cell test the factory tow bar and once completed we supply an engineering certificate and upgraded tow rating plate approved by the RMS.
The Climax Tow Capacity Upgrade is the most comprehensive, best quality system available on the market today.
Some members of the Port Macquarie & District 4WD Club attended an advanced driving course (DTU) in the Watagans on the last weekend of March 2012.
We were very proud of our Ironman 4x4 Gold Patrol as she climbed beautifully over all the steep and very rough hills as you can see from our amazing pictures. The Ironman Patrol came to the rescue and winched out a defender that had a spot of trouble.
The Watagans is a very popular 4WDrivers spot to visit as it has many challenging tracks to endure. The boys had a great weekend playing and practicing recovery, driving and safety of course.
Darren from Midcoast 4WD Centre/Climax Suspension Port Macquarie had a great time and was very pleased with how well the Patrol handled itself in such rough terrain and can’t wait to get back in there.
Hi Dino,
As you said the patrol has been transformed. The system was fitted by Alley's last thursday and I very happy with their service on your recommendation. The Lovell springs are what I was hoping for, comfortable without being soft and they just soak up the bumps with the damping from the Bilsteins matching the springs beautifully. The height on the wheel arches has increased around 65/70mm on the front and around 85mm on the rear. Very happy with the results.
Alley's have suggested an adjustable draglink to sort out a couple of issues. Would you please give me a price to supply one to me.
I have attached a sheet with some pictures so you can see the results.
Although this is a bit rough I would be happy if you printed this so you can show others the results on my Patrol.
Kind regards
Chris
Just a short note to thank Climax Suspension for the advice and ultimately the supply of a fantastic suspension upgrade for my Dual Cab BT50 GT.
After having driven on several suspension systems on previous vehicles, I was adamant not to repeat mistakes of the past.
The new suspension system needed to cope with a steel bull bar and winch combination on the front, with no load to towing a 6m boat on the rear. I was also looking for about a 40-50mm lift. Oh, there was also the requirement for comfort when the First Lady wanted to take the BT shopping.
Final combination was a Climax Smart Suspension system utilising Bilstein shocks and Lovells springs - medium duty, with a 40mm nominal lift. Installation was professionally completed by Rutherford Motors.
Certainly not the cheapest suspension upgrade about, but for me, the best I have ever ridden.
Happy to provide reference for any prospective buyer wanting a high quality, performance suspension system to complement their vehicle.
As Dino from Climax Suspension stated, "this system will transform your vehicle".
Photos of the finished product included.

Hi Guys
I recently bought a 2 inch Ironman kit for my 04 courier from you and just want to let you know that I am really impressed with the improvement it has made to my car. It has made a significant change in the ride height, handles so much better and makes the ride heaps more comfortable. Thanks heaps.
I have attached a couple of photos before and after.
Cheers
Patrick
Climax customer Greg is another happy camper with a Prado we sent a set of fully assembled Smart Struts to. He was happy that it sits level and with how quickly he received the struts!
Dino,
I just wanted to thank you again for the struts and send you some pics.
First a before and after shot then another showing how level the car sits now.
Thanks again
Greg
Gday Dino
Bilsteins and King springs seem to be a great choice for the Prado 150 series. I tow a Jayco Outback Camper each month or so and the non sagging is a huge benefit!
Thanks for your great service and advice. This was money well spent!
Although not the cheapest choice, but the best choice I think - and a huge improvement in drive ability and I'm very happy with result.
Thanks again mate

Hi Dino,
The install of the Koni's on my 350Z went fine, took me about 4hrs & I had no problems aside from there not being much space sliding the fronts into place & I had to undo most of the upper control arm to get access.
Since install, my car is riding a hundred times better than the cheap coil overs. There is a fair bit of body roll which I am getting used to again but the rear is putting down the power much more consistently out of corners & my car is now a pleasure to drive (unlike before!).
The recommended sway bars will make a huge difference & I will purchase them shortly, it's just a shame the Whiteline sway bars are so expensive & almost AU$700, (compared to what is available in the US, German Eibachs for US$330 for the pair! but close to another US$280 to ship).
No problems with alignment either with my wheels within OEM spec & therefore no need for expensive camber/toe arms. I will send a picture of the car both before & after, the 35mm drop looks great & fills my wheel arches nicely - just waiting for my 25mm wheel spacers to arrive.
Thanks again for all your friendly help & advice, you & your company were a pleasure to deal with & I look forward to doing business with you again in the future.
Cheers,
Nick
G'day Dino
I am the owner of HZJ78 Troopy referred to you by GT. You may recall I had the SAX suspension fitted before requesting your advice and purchasing a better alternative from you.
The suspension you supplied worked faultlessly during our trip to WA. 50psi in the troopy tyres, 55psi in the air bags and 55psi in the trailer tyres.
12 months on, the back leaf springs have settled in comfortably. I have adjusted the shocks a couple of times and am now very pleased with the overall ride between loaded for camp trips and running round town. The addition of the air bags was a great idea!
I need your advice and recommendation to a good quality Steering Damper. I have limited suppliers here in Karratha and would value your suggestions.
Thanks for any help you can provide!
Regards
Peter
Hi Dino
Here is a before and after shot with your 2 inch lift Lovells and Bilsteins fitted handles, great and no sag with my van attached, I should have done it years ago feels like a new car.

Great to catch up last weekend! Bilstein transplant done on Wednesday....amazing! Fairlane feels so tight!
The transformation was amazing going from what I thought was quite a tight ride and responsive steering to what I can describe as something similar to and better than European marques I've owned previously. Thanks to Bilstein and Whiteline through Climax Suspension's Dino!. Lovingly fitted by Craig and the boys at Highfields 4x4 Mechanical.
Great recommendation. Thanks for organising for it me.
Climax Suspension Highfields QLD supplied and fitted a full set of Bilstein monotube struts and shocks, Whiteline bushes and a Whiteline rear swaybar. David is a QLD sales rep and uses his vehicle everyday as a rep in QLD, and racks up a lot of K's in the process.
