Old Man Emu suspension kits are Australian engineered and have been sold worldwide for more than 30 years. This premium kit offers a great solution for on and off road use, with flexible options for varying amounts of weight.

The Old Man Emu brand has its roots firmly planted in off road racing and draws its name from the emu’s ability to maintain great stability when moving over uneven terrain at high speeds.  From humble beginnings in 1976, ARB purchased the company in 1988 and has continued to develop and test the products in Australia’s harsh 4WD environments.

With an engineering focus for off road comfort and on road handling, today Old Man Emu supplies tailored suspension solutions for over 200 popular 4WD vehicles. Whether it’s for work or play, touring or hardcore off road, Old Man Emu has a selection of springs, shocks and associated suspension components that will transform your 4WD’s ride, handling and off road capabilities.

WHY UPGRADE YOUR SUSPENSION?
Suspension systems, especially when referring to 4WDs, are extremely complex. Determining the right solution for each 4WD requires special attention to many factors, with weight being the most critical. Old Man Emu 4×4 suspension by ARB approaches this in a unique way.

THE CONCEPT
When an emu (flightless Australian bird) runs, its powerful legs absorb most of the impact, allowing it to move over all types of terrain while its body remains virtually motionless. This is what Old Man Emu strives to achieve with its range of fully integrated 4×4 shocks and suspension systems.

THE DIFFERENCE
Instead of offering a compilation of parts that have been chosen primarily to increase the vehicle’s ride height, OME 4×4 suspension provides a range of tuned and matched integrated systems, each offering optimum levels of comfort, load carrying capability and control characteristics.

THE OUTCOME
Prototype shock absorbers and springs are tested and modified in a variety of terrains and with varying loads to ensure that each shock and spring combination is ideally suited to a vehicle, its varying weights and the terrain it is to encounter.

“Frequently asked questions”

1.Do i need to fit extended brake hoses?

NO as the front shocks have limited travel and this eliminates the need for longer hoses, but at the expense of extra articulation

2.Do i need to fit camber correction bushes?

No you don’t need to from a safety / inspection point of view but i always recommend them as they bring the front axle geometry back to factory settings

3.Do i need the rear shock relocators?

No you don’t need them 

4.Some Jimny kits don't offer brake hoses?

With the current 2019 Jimny there is only 45mm of extra downwards travel before the hoses are not long enough and the propshaft hits the cross member during articulation, so to stop this many manufacturers only offer a 1" (25mm) longer front shock thus limiting travel, articulation and offroad ability! So if you want extra travel the Black Raptor kits would be more suitable.
