My rears fall off if I don't hold them in place, so I'm guessing you have the wrong ones. But sounds like you made them fit in the good zook way 
Front is always a little tight where it seats, rust, damage and time warp things a bit. ' May be easier to dremel vit rather than the spacer. |

I run 25mm front and 50mm rear. I compensated for lost travel with shock relocation brackets and a strut flip. Bumpstop extensions of 40mm or so. With drop diff brackets up front, ball joint spacer in the rear. Steering compensation is camber bolts and caster bushes (offset) Got mine from Bruce

christover- i got pretty much all the extra stuff besides diff drop brackets but should have them soon. cheers I ran 15 / 30 for quite a while, with no serious scrubbing. I went to 25/50 because shock relocation brackets made my springs a bit loose at full droop. Still having the minor scrubbings, but suspension works better. I adjusted my steering stops, to help cv's avoid full turns risks. Only get a bit of rubber to plastic contact now |

I went to the bottom edge of the handle itself dude (the bit that lifts up) as I figured that'd be more inline with sierras/LJs. Yours certainly looks taller than mine still in photos, so I'm guessing you measured to the bottom edge of the handle insert? |

Thanks Alex, I'll give the flap disk a run. Shandy92 - I got them from http://www.extremelimitsoffroad.com.au/prod61.htm Won't say that the product is not right, cos I am a mechanical window licker, but mine is a 10-95 model. |

The ones pictured on that site are the correct ones for a 95 Vitara. |

All sorted. I stand corrected, front ones went in fine, took me a while to notice the little locating tab inside the outer housing that you have to dodge. I did have to drop the A frames (had read in search results that you can get away without it) and now have a ball joint splitter in the shed, so all is good. Thanks for your help. |
