So, I've learnt a lot in the past few weeks about my GV from this forum and it has become one of my daily visit sites.

About 2years ago I bought a 99 GV and found that the stock springs didn't give anywhere enough clearance to get me to the main place I bought the car for.
After a few disappointing phone calls to pedders and the likes, I came across ODA and bought a 2" lift fromm them.

Dobinson srings, struts, camber bolts and rancho shocks.
Along with some 235/70R16's. (Do wish now that I had found this site previously and just took the rims down and got some 30"s, tyre shop didn't want to put any bigger tyres on and I had to convince them to put the 29"s on)
After getting stuck (again, allthough much higher up) on the same track I bought another 2" lift from Tim (ODA), so 3" Front to 4" back I believe?

this time it was front and rear spring spacers, pan-hard bracket, shock extenders and diff drops.

I am now very happy with the off-road performance of my GV and love shocking other 4wd enthusiasts with its performance offroad, however I would like to know whether the caster and camber bushes bits4vits sell are a worthy addition?
So does anyone have any experience with them? Snake Oil or must have?
Any thought on the FTS spring seat correctors?

tldr;
does anyone have any experience with the camber and castor correcting bushes from bits4vits? worth it?
Spring seat correctors as well?

I run caster correction bushes from Bits4Vits, on a LWB 93 Vitara,
and camber correction bolts from unknown supplier (bolts were fitted by previous owner)
Certainly worth it, for me.
Improved my steering on road.

Have you checked the measurements of caster and camber, first, to see if needed?
