Hey Guys.....
Just after some peoples experiences with "IronMan" Front Struts for the early LWB Vitaras... I realize that OME Struts are obviously better, but I found out these IronMan Struts are also 40mm longer than the STD Struts, so I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with these IronMan struts ??
Good or Bad......
cheers......
rob

I installed a full ironman 40mm lift which included the very same struts. They are all good on and offroad although the ride is quite stiff probably due to the coil diameter of the springs. Struts feel very positive on the road and handle as good as I would like.
And yes I can confirm they do have an extra 40mm travel.

I ended up up buying some today as they were 35mm longer than I've got now

If you don't mind me asking, what did you pay for the Iron man struts and springs?

I only bought the front struts and got them through a "mate" for $220/pr.

I paid $500 for 4 x Ironman springs, 2 x struts, 2 x shocks, 2 x 30mm rear coil spacers and 2 x 15mm front coil spacers. My best bargain in a while I'll tell ya. All new in boxes with receipts.
