We've been over this topic more than once 
My main concern in regards to these cheap kits is when used on road going vehicles. After the tyres, suspension components are what keeps the tyres on the ground, especially when turning and braking. When using quality shocks specifically made to a vehicle you have some assurance that it'll do the job. Also why some kits comes with a TÜV certificate.
About OME/Trail Master other suspension kits.
They made for different continents (LHD/RHD). Only RHD Jimnys have the Jimny lean, which is why a TM kit won't fix this lean. As it's for a LHD. I've seen a handful of OME fitted Jimny's here in Denmark. Not having this lean. So perhaps springs were wrongly installed?
