tough dog do a kit, the other option is the calmini one, but you need to buy other bits for it to work.

tough dog ones are return to centre. Meaning you will be fighting against it when your turning. Ive never run it.

The calmini one is not. I personally run it. Its great. The fact you need another cross bar to mount it is a bit of a downer, But you get a hell of alot more strength up front with it.

would be pretty easy to fab up, the truss mounts to the front control arm mounts & the dampner runs back to the drag link.

doesn't fit the SV's, had one in my original order.

i should make one, the one that came with the ODA kit is pretty flimsy & only picks up one side of the mount.

Why run a damper? Vitara front ends are never going to get the wobbles like a solid front end, which is what a damper is there to take care of.

A lot of my driving is done on the highway - 100 km a day
I was just looking for a bit more stability
The dampner is original on the car 233000k
It is the last front end part on my list ( for now )
