ive never used or tried them so cant really give a good opinion on them,

however, a chap i knew had them on his jimny to stop scrubbing tires, they did that, but also stiffend up the suspension so hard he could go round corners on 3 wheels.

Hi there.

I've just fitted the Bits4Vits ones a couple of weeks ago. Since they are cut to shape they effectively remove most of one coil of spring which stiffens them a bit, more than I was expecting anyway. The ones you were looking at won't do this. Apart from that there won't be much, if any, difference.

I'm also interested in this, how does it affect your articulation as it stiffens them up? Also does anyone running them top out the standard shocks? Just trying to weigh them up against a lift kit - which i would have to wait a few more months for.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!
