LAS Products in Cape Town

ThysdJ · Post by **ThysdJ** » Wed Jan 21, 2015 11:11 am

I was approached recently by Dawie Harmse from LA Sport to become a Brand Ambassador for LASport in the Cape Town area, because of my involvement in the 4x4 industry through the work we do at Team Offroad.

He also approached Gysie at Gomad4x4 to become an approved supplier and fitment center in the Western Cape for LA Sport. As you guys know the Hilux4x4 Club has an agreement with LASport that Club members can get discount on LASport products. But we have a problem in Cape Town seeing as LASport does not have a branch in the Western Cape any more... Well that is something of the past now, because we have a place where we, the Hilux4x4 Club members in Cape Town, can get hold of LASport products and get it fitted as well. You contact Ciske, and Gomad4x4 does the rest.

As part of the arrangement between LASport and Team Offroad, my Hilux was fitted with a complete H/D LAS Profender suspension. This was done by Gomad4x4 and the wheel alignment was done by Johan Tyre from 1St Alignment.

Now, I have seen the ads for LAS Profender suspension, but havent really thought about it much. Mainly because it wasnt on my priority shopping list. I must say that since the LAS Profende suspension was fitted my Hilux is coming alive. It drives well, it handles better, and even on the trail we did on the weekend it felt a lot more responsive. Although the suspension is still a bit stiff and needs some flexing and settling in, I am impressed.

The pricing for LAS Profender is also very good compared to the competition. But I am no salesman, I'll leave that part over to Dawie and the other sales gurus. I will be giving feedback from time to time as we test and evaluate LAS Profender in the field.

Thanks to LASport for the opportunity.

Flippin net-net... met 2mm om te spaar.. ek kan nie die bande harder pomp nie dan haak hy aan die garagedeur..

Sit met dieselfde probleem ,sodra ek my lux gaan lig gaan hy nie meer in die garage pas met die RTT op nie.............tans clear hy met minder as 5mm en dan moet hy gelaai wees reg om te gaan kamp, anders is hy te hoog.

Sal baie graag wil groter bande op sit en die spacers en shackles van 4x4 direct..................maar die garage deur sal dan moet aandag kry en dit is nie n goedkoop operasie nie????

Thys, moet se daai Hilux lyk nou mooi in sy skoene so met die LAS suspensie in.

Jy moet ons maar op hoogte hou van die gedrag van dit. Sal interesant wees om te sien hoe hulle die skurwe grondpaaie hanteer met vrag.

Dankie Johan, ja daardie is my volgende mission, om hom gelaai op 'n grondpad te kry en sien wat hy doen. Maar as ek moet vergelyk met die vorige suspensie is die Hilux klaar baie stewiger op skurwe teerpaaie ook. Ons teerpaaie hier is al plek plek sinkplaat op plekke waar die groot trokke ry, en daar sit hy lekker..

Ek ry nou aspris al die gate raak!!

Ek wonder hoekom Toyota nie vir die bakkies ordentlike suspensies insit nie!!!! Ek hoor hulle het 'n man aangestel om die forums te lees en vir Toyota te adviseer oor die probleme - gaan my verstand te bowe dat Toyota nog nie besef het hoe swak hulle suspensies is nie. En ek wonder hoeveel Toyota bakkies het nog hulle oorspronklike suspensies in! Ek wil nie die thread hijack nie - ek wonder maar net.....

Ek ry nog met standaard suspensie, en moet se ek kan nie kla nie. Miskien ken ek nie van beter nie, hy is effens stamperig, maar dis mos n bakkie nie n platkar nie. Wat sy werk verigting betref in sand, grond, bergpaaie is ek meer as tevrede. My suspensie kraak en raas effens van tyd tot tyd, maar verder sal hy net so goed presteer as enige ander. Ek het nou 10j mag wiele opgesit, en weet ek kan nie te laag afblaas nie, so sal maar sien of ek na 32 toe sal gaan en vir daardie doel dan n efs of ironman suspensie insit om n lift te kry en body lift miskien. Thys watter lift kry jy uit die suspensie en is hulle redelik geprys?

Thys ek voel stupid om te vra ma :
Pro fender - het jy ander fender flares op jou bakkie gefit en is dit ook LAS ?
Verbeel my daai flares lyk grooter as normaal

ThysdJ · Post by **ThysdJ** » Thu Jan 22, 2015 10:50 am

Nee Eben.. Dis seker omdat hulle wit is.. Daai fender flares is stok standaart

Thys watter lift kry jy uit die suspensie en is hulle redelik geprys?

Ons het 'n 50mm reg rondom gekry. Voor is die leveling spacers ook uitgehaal omdat die PF suspensie daardie "levelling" ingebou het.

Hulle pryse is baie kompeterend, Dawie moet inkom hier, maar volgens die pryslyste wat Ciske het is dit goedkoper as Ironman en EFS.. Alles is goedkoper as OME, so ons gaan nie eers daar nie..

We fitted one of those suspensions on a Ford T6 and the rear shackles knock on the bumper mounting plates, Please be advised MODS needed on the ford....

I have heard there is another supplier selling the exact same suspension just without the LAS branding on it and if i am not mistaken its around 15% cheaper than LAS.

ThysdJ · Post by **ThysdJ** » Fri Jan 23, 2015 9:26 am

Okay, here are the prices according to the price lists given to Ciske at Gomad4x4.

LAS Profender H/D suspension (struts, coils, leaves, shocks, bushes etc) that was fitted to my Hilux = R17650.00 min 5% for Hilux Club members...

A similar kit from Iron Man will be between R17500 and R22150... min 0% for Hilux Club members..

I have Ironman on the Jeep and they are very bumpy hard ride... Not dissing Ironman at all!! Just doing a price comparison and telling you what the ride quality in the Jeep is now...

met die standaard suspensie loop n Hilux mos afdraend ...

sit nou jou canopy op, en so een of twee items en hy loop gelyk

nou LAAI jy hom vir vakansie en die wa loop sommer heelpad opdraend .....

Johan Tires het die Ironman vir my opgesit - MAAR eers seker gemaak van watter gewig my bakkie gaan dra ... kry dit verkeerd en jy stamp jou longe uit !!

Nou al 60 000 km gedoen met die Ironman

So JA, ek stem saam dat n suspensie upgrade die Hilux net GOED doen. Wie wil dan gaan vakansie hou met n low-rider ?

MAAR, ongeag die brand, jy MOET seker maak hulle sit die regte "rating" in vir die vrag wat jy gaan dra.

Ek het my hilux gekoop met n leveling kit in, dis seker die enigste nadeel, maar dan verstaan ek ook sy gat moet hoer wees. Daar is verseker nie fout met n "upgrade", veral om meer lift te kry nie. Ek dink net uit my ervaring dat die standaard suspensie baie goed tot dusver gevaar het.
