Anyone able to comment on their performance?

I cant comment from a Vit point of view but I have full lovells suspension on the Jim and reckon its bloody brilliant.

I have the springs on my Sierra. And had the shocks on my pajero. No issues other than the bushes on the shock wearing out from mud.

Thanks - I thought $15 each is a good enough deal for what I want.

I have the springs and the shocks, the springs are too heavy IMO, and they havent mastered the rear valving for the sierra/jimny (vitara may be different)

I've just bought a set for my GV as well. I emailed lovells and they've offered me a discount on the rest of the kit. $535 for the rear shocks and f/r springs. So $550 for the whole kit inc GST. I think the kit normally retails for $1200 so a pretty good deal. There's two sets of the front shocks left on ebay if anyone else wanted to take advantage of the deal.

Ryangus, mate did you buy two? The listing is for the pair for $15. Get in touch with them and you might be able to change the order to one pair. Unless you happen to have two zooks.

Shocks turned up today - didn't realise it was $15 a pair! Bloody bargain I reckon.

Now, what to do with the extra pair?

Even at $15 each that would have been a bargain! 8)

If anyone bought 2 pairs of fronts to suit a VIT/GV by accident, let me know, I'll buy the other set off you if you want to get rid of them.

How do you find the ride with the full shocks and springs from Lovells?

I've only just bought them mate. I'll let you know how they go once I've got them installed.

Let us all know how you go with the struts as I was told they don't do struts for lifted vehicles, only stock height.

I asked them about the lift for the kit, and they said it would lift 35-40mm over stock, probably more if you account for sag on the bits being replaced.

I'll keep you all informed how I get on.

I've had the full kit in the GV for a couple of years now and the ride is fine.
It is stiffer than standard but you don't need a kidney belt to drive.
The actual lift is +36mm.

I bought a spare set of these off ryangus, but the people that sold them to him contacted me today and asked if I wanted to buy the last set that they had, so I don't need them but is anyone else out there interested?
If so I can pass on the details. PM me.
