Hi all, tried searching but didn't find much. I get the impression these are a euro knock off of the calmini kit?

Wasn't having much luck finding any threads where people were actually running them, this was the only one i could find.

http://translate.google.com.au/translate?hl=en&sl=es&u=http://suzuki88.mforos.com/407028/10382182-4xfour-art-8-por-fin-en-casa/&prev=/search%3Fq%3D%25224xfour%2Bart%2522%2B%2522grand%2Bvitara%2522%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26biw%3D768%26bih%3D928&sa=X&ei=37tLUcX7O4SFkwWnvIHACw&ved=0CEIQ7gEwBA

Anyone know more about them? Got an opinion?

my main interest is they do a 80mm kit for the Grand Vitara, as opposed to the 60mm from Calmini... cant find any installs to check out for that one though.

Got a quote from these guys for the kit - $1300 euro delivered, so about $1600 our money.
thats pretty similar to the calmini prices from the states, yeah?
Thinking I might be a guinea pig - what do you reckon?

Edit - here's a photo of the GV 3 inch kit.
