I have dobs. Really happy with them.
Had some Lovells that were too stiff, but they didn't blow despite 3 years of use and sometimes abuse. Can't comment on OMEs.

Only 1 month use I'd be contacting Calamini for some replacements.

I'd be looking at why they have blown. Are they bottoming out or topping out? is the vehicle modified other than the calmini kit...i.e. extra strut spacers ?

I can supply dobinsons struts. PM me for a quote, inc your location.

I reckon calamity struts are well known for rapid failure.

You might find also the OP had this kit for 8 months before fitting.

Suspension wise its only running the calmini 3 inch kit with calmini strut spacers , the front struts are leaking through the top seal rather badly .

Yep calmini shocks and struts are all pretty crap and harsh, Dobs are a nice ride with a thicker bore than calmini and shocks are often replaced with ones for other cars to get flex rather than a vit specific.
