well i very glad i bought dobinsons struts for my vit, seems OME are falling apart.
i have had my dobinson struts in for 5-10k and are doing an awesome job so far, car does a lot of hwy ks and is driven fairly hard off-road and cant fault them at all.

for the price $145 ea picked up, they are well worth it over OME. same goes for the springs to :D :D

Started fitting my new Dobinsons struts today.
They match exactly the up and down lengths of my OME.
But appear to be much beefier.
Only used a ruler, not a vernier to measure,
but i can see they are wider/thicker.
Hopefully thats a good thing.

What's the ride like with the Dobinsons? More harsh then OME on the road?

Just went for a quick drive, road, dirt and a bit off road,
no problems with ride, not harsh at all.
But I am using OME coils, well run in, that are quite soft.

Handling was an incredible improvement, over stuffed struts :)
My rear shox seem fine, so they will stay.
