Old Man Emu - Tailor - Made 4x4 Suspension Solutions from Australia
The
Old Man Emu (OME) brand has its roots in off-road motorsport and
takes its name from the emu’s ability to remain stable even on
uneven terrain. Founded in 1976, the company was acquired by ARB in
1988, which has since continued to develop the products and test them
under the harsh conditions of the Australian Outback.
OME places
a strong emphasis on comfort, control, and driving stability, both
on-road and off-road. Today, the brand offers tailor-made suspension
solutions for more than 200 popular 4×4 models. These include
springs, shock absorbers, and additional suspension components
designed to significantly improve handling, off-road capability, and
load-carrying capacity of four-wheel-drive vehicles.
Each OME
solution is individually tested and fine-tuned by experienced
engineers. Rather than simply assembling components to increase
vehicle ride height, OME delivers fully integrated, matched systems
that provide optimal comfort, maximum control, and high load
capacity—precisely tailored to the needs of off-road drivers,
adventurers, and professional users.

OME Nitrocharger+ Mitsubishi Pajero L040, L200 - '95, Hyundai Galloper FA
The OME Nitrocharger + is the next evolution in the traditional Nitrocharger family, replacing the proven Nitrocharger Sport and the remaining Nitrocharger models. It retains the time-tested twin-tube design, known for its durability in off- road conditions, as well as the 3-valve technology, featuring a dual-acting piston valve and an additional compression valve at the lower end of the working cylinder, delivering a smooth and progressively responsive performance. However, by shifting the production location, many details have been improved, which is reflected in the "plus" in the name. Most shock absorbers now benefit from a larger 58mm body, allowing for increased oil volume and better heat dissipation. This, in turn, accommodates a 20mm piston rod that enables more precise guidance and improves sealing through a newly optimized triple-lip seal. The larger body also allows for an increase in piston diameter to 36mm, enhancing responsiveness and oil flow, which contributes to lower operating temperatures. The second new housing size features a 50mm diameter, an 18mm piston rod, and also a 36mm piston. It replaces the smaller 44mm Nitrocharger models with the 12.5mm piston rod and is intended for applications where the larger 58mm body cannot be used due to space constraints. Another new feature is the material used for the stone guard. It is now unbreakable and softer, preventing scratches on the paintwork during full suspension articulation. The paint finish itself has also been upgraded with a multi-layer coating, improving both aesthetics and corrosion protection.

Both the 50mm and the 58/72mm spring seats feature proprietary OME designs and must be used exclusively with the corresponding OME springs. Thanks to these two universal spring seats, OME can now respond much more quickly to new vehicle models, as there is no longer a need to search for or custom-make special spring seats, which also helps reduce costs. The ability to adjust height also reduces the number of different springs required for varying weights within a vehicle series. In addition, it allows for better compensation during installation for weight differences between the left and right side or for accessories added later. Different springs are not necessarily required for this purpose.

The OME Nitrocharger Sport is the further development of the classic OME Nitrocharger. It is also a 2-tube gas pressure shock absorber in low pressure design, but works with three instead of two working valves. In the working piston is now a rebound and a compression valve integrated, as it is otherwise only used in shock absorbers of the 1-tube design. The bottom valve as an additional compression stage valve has been retained. This allows a wider tuning and a better response for more drive comfort with higher safety reserves at the same time.The Nitrocharger Sport series was was introduced in 2006, although the "Sport" designation is not intended to indicate sporty toughness, but only to distinguish it from the "old" Nitrocharger. The Nitrocharger Sport has replaced the Nitrocharger for almost all applications and is used wherever possible in all new developments.Also the "Sport" was developed specifically for the requirements in the 4x4 area and extended in length, wherever it is possible, up to 50mm.Therefore, a use with both the series springs, as well as with the OME height-adjustment springs, with a few exceptions, is possible.The facts in the overview: 35mm working pistons with integrated, multi-stage friction-reducing teflon seals Extra strong, hard chrome plated 18mm piston rod Unique 3-lip seal ring with check valve and generous piston rod guide for excellent top sealing Multi-stage compression valve at the bottom of the working cylinder for optimized progressive response and driveability Stainless polyamide stone guards for the piston rod wherever space permits Durable polyurethane or rubber bushings; for struts, the original parts or OME replacement parts can be used at the top end

OME BP51 Coil Over Strut Ford F150 '21 on, front LHS
Introduced at Automechanika in 2014, the OME BP51 remains the top product in the OME shock absorber range. With its innovative technology and outstanding performance, it sets benchmarks in its class. By combining the advantages of twin-tube, monotube, and bypass shock absorber designs while eliminating their disadvantages, it achieves exceptional performance and unique capabilities. Maximum piston travel and length through relocation of the separator piston and gas reservoir into a separate remote canister. Very progressive and broad tuning range by utilizing the large 51mm piston in combination with bypass channels. Only the integration of bypasses into the dual-wall body makes it possible to use it as a compact coilover. The bypasses also serve as hydraulic end stops, reducing stress on the original rubber bump stops and piston rod. Only the dual-wall, 4mm thick housing ensures perfect protection of the cylinder bore from external impacts. The use of high-strength aluminum with excellent heat dissipation and extra- large oil volume provides perfect thermal stability. 10-stage adjustability in both directions, independently and while installed, allows for individual tuning at any time to suit the driver and specific conditions. Uncompromising use of premium components such as hard-anodized 6061 T6 aerospace- grade aluminum, Teflon-steel braided lines, and uniball bearings in coilovers ensures long service life. Whether you value high ride comfort in an empty vehicle, enduring performance on long trails with a fully loaded expedition rig, or maximum flexibility with the BP51, you always make the best choice.If your vehicle is equipped with a strut, the OME BP51 strut will be delivered pre-assembled and ready to install. Upon request, we are also happy to adjust the spring seat for you free of charge. However, we will need specific details about the vehicle such as engine type, transmission, and the weight of any installed accessories, unless you have already completed our suspension configurator. A vehicle-specific fitting kit is also required for the initial installation.
