I'm interested in the Black Raptor kit as well, but I've never been able to find any mention of anyone having it. Which puts me off. I'd like to know how it rides and flexes.
 
For what it's worth those kits are pretty popular where I live and so far I've heard nothing but good things about them. People say they're very comfortable to ride on, and those who have OME on theirs and got to try the BR suspension on somebody else's vehicle said they like the BR ones better.
I'm also not so sure about quality since it's not such a well-known brand as opposed to OME or Dobinsons (look them up, they're Australian, very known brand).

Regarding the adjustability, as far as I understand it's just a knob you can turn without having to lift/remove anything, and you can choose between 15 different dampening levels.

59 odd miles in, set the dampers half way round, then back on click , seem very good

Apologies for dragging up an old thread, but gv42, how is your experience with the black Raptor setup on your jimny? Would you recommend it?

I'm planning to change the shocks on my LCV and thinking these might be the best option since I can stiffen them up if loading up the vehicle, or have them comfortable for normal use.
