I'm looking at upgrading the front struts - the stockies are topping out a bit with the coil spacers - not badly, but I don't think they are going to last long :twisted:

and a bit more flex will always help too.....

Any recommendations on brand? And prices?

I have one quote of $325 delivered for a pair of Lovells Gas legend +25/30mm lift off 4WD Direct....

Cheers

The general consensus is that OME struts are the best as they are 40mm longer, as oppossed to standard length struts with extended shafts welded on.

yep can't go past OME ones. You can also do a strut mount flip.

OK - I'll have a look round to get some OME ones - and I thought you couldn't do the strut top flip on the GV? Would give you the same effect as strut extenders thoughI guess - ie less compression...may be worth a look though...

YEah OME or Tough Dogs both around the same price.. both 2 year warrenty. If you get the Tough Dogs they supply a pair of camber pinns to re adjust that wheel angle.. OME you'll need to go get a set from say pedders and they are around $120..
