Stiff!

The springs I've seen (Vit) are standard length but wound stiffer to give the lift...? :(

The Vit springs come in several different ratings. The Jimny stuff is supposed to be good but is expensive and the kits that I've seen don't have castor correction bushes.

Some Suzukis and a bunch of motorcycles.

OME 40 mm is nothing but great stuff. A lot less bouncy on and off road then stock, specially when fully loaded. I've chosen HD springs for the front, but the suspension flex so much that my 215/75/15 tires were still rubbing when a bump is hit in a certain way. Solved installing spring cushions ;-) Shocks have around 50k km and are like new.
