Fellow Auszookers I have cunundrum
I want more flex (in the front) and a little more comfort out of my Vit. Was just wondering if changing the Calmini shocks to a set of OME 40mm lifted Ones would help??? or if anyone is running other brands, i know the Calmini Shocks are of Stock Length... hence the Spacers.

Any thoughts?

i run OME's + the calmini strut spacer & this combo works well for me, with the latest feedback on the OME struts I'd be buying Dobinsons.

Buzbox will be able to help with the ride difference with the new dobinsons he has up front in his.

Dobinsons are a bit cheaper too aren't they???

Have you had to put spring retainers in???

no retainers but i do run Flaggy Vit Fab 50mm bumpstop extensions in the front & 70mm ish Glenarm Eng rear bumpstops.

just for the $$$$ i'd be going the dobinsons.

pull the spring out of the front end, bolt in new strut... cycle suspension & measure for bumpstop length.
