I just need to throw this out for some advice.

Has anyone had a Dobinson suspension lift kit fitted to their Grand Vitara and if so, what do they think of it?

I have been shopping around and the guys selling this are adamant it's a very good setup.

Any advise would be good....

Cheers

I have Dobinson GV springs in my SWB :)

the front struts are said to be good too

the rear is always a compromise in a vit due to the tight amount of space for shocks

If its a 2.5 v6 the lift is 30-35mm.
I have the springs and struts upfront along with 30mm spacers.
Very happy with the ride, for the price you cant go wrong.
And dont forget, send Dank a pm for a price :wink:

CALMINI lift kits are the way to go, but get it from the states as it's to dear here.
