G'day guys, I'm looking to improve the ride and offroad handling of my vitara. i was going to go for a ironman kit off ebay but i've heard they aren't great and are pretty rough.
i did some searching and found lovells do springs and shocks for vitaras, i used lovells in my old car (lowered commodore...so complete opposite) but i found them really good.

any experiences?

I have Lovells springs, shocks and struts in mine, happy so far, they are damaged but that is all my fault.
I have a brand new set of rear shocks if your interested in buying them. PM me.

I had Lovells lowered springs and KYB shocks in my last car, It's a very good combo and I wouldn't hesitate putting them in another car. I previously had Pedders springs and shocks and King Springs + Monroe in there and compared to Lovells, they're shit.

haha sorry, but i listen to what people tell me and i've heard alot more good news about lovells than ironman.

i found a site that does lovells for about the same price anyway, so i might email them.
