Hi Auszookers 
Thought I would finally stop by and say hello. My GV needs some new struts and shocks as it feels like a boat to drive and it's still got 02 factory stuff in it with a bit of sag. I've beeing looking through the availiable OME, Lovels, IronMan, Dobinson and Rancho kits. How on earth do you decide one over the other ? What on earth does the Calmini kit I keep hearing about all over Auszookers have other a standard 4xCoil, 2xStrut and 2xShock upgrade ? Thanks |

Cheers. Looks like it's going to be illegal here in QLD though so I'll have to rule that one out. Whats the opinion on the other brands? How do I pick between them (apart from cost and warranty) ? |

I've got the ironman kit in my GV, very happy with it but it is a little on the stiffer side. Also heard Dobinsons is good too. Not too sure about the others, and there is quite a difference in price too. Either way what ever you choose it'll be 100 times better than the stock suspension you have now. |

For a budget, local option I have a set of Dobinsons springs and struts from Outdoor Auto... These have been reasonably good so far in our 02 GV. |

Do you wheel it?? I had Lovells in mine for ages & was very happy with em, handled like a race car on road & still flexed well, but was a stiff ride. |

Hello and welcome... i know exactly what you mean about the " Boat ", and the sag, he he, my GV had both, and the back end would just bounce with any sort of load in it, ha ha... shabz wrote: I've got the ironman kit in my GV, very happy with it but it is a little on the stiffer side.

I got the Ironman lift kit as well, it was within my budget... yes they can be a bit on the stiff side empty, but i prefer stiffer, than softer, i carry a toolbox, and a box of other gear in the back, and that helps... Dobinson are good also, they come in a 40mm lift, but are more expensive than the Ironman 35mm lift... i got 55mm lift in the rear empty with Ironman... Definitely agree there shabz, its like driving a totally different car now, it handles like a sports car onroad, and i get twice the flex offroad, they make a huge difference...a complete suspension upgrade, if you can afford it, is the best way to go !

I have the full Lovells setup in mine and I'm very happy with it. Had for about 4 years now and the only thing I would do differently, iOS I wouldn't put in the coil spacers, but that's my fault, not Lovells. If you decide to go with Lovells, I have a brand new set of rear shocks here that I can sell you cheaply. |
