Was quoted $165 on the phone, when I got there paid $140 ea, seems like a good product and good blokes at the Sydney outlet. Spoke to them at the Sydney 4wd show at Eastern Creek last year, they are playing around with a 3" kit for the Vits as we speak. |

do they teach sales & marketing & when doing mechanic apprenticeships at tafe now or do EFS give you blowjobs & holidays to the Cocos Islands?

So no gobbies from EFS. 
What makes them a more "solid product" than say the off the shelf Monroe's for a Vitara? Especially if they're the stock length & if they are just a rebranded KYB as suggested by Taylor74 they're nothing "special". |

ok, let me reword that... so what makes them better than say the off the shelf Monroe's for a Vitara? at least the Dobinsons & OME are longer, plus I think the Ironman are also +35mm |

What_the_fuck! Dont believe what people brainwash you with to support their product! |

It's got nothing to do with product brainwashing. I was just stating a product I knew I could bring up on our work computer with a price list that I haven't seen any problems with. have a look at you calmini spacer next time, i reckon it's longer than 1"
didn't your calmini kit top the struts out, so a longer strut would have been beneficial. |
