Thanks Tom, wasnt aware they were made for other cars, i did wonder why they were so cheap.

These other kits you speak of, where is the best/cheapest place to get a hold of those?

I don't mind paying for a better quality kit id rather go down that route then buy cheap

In the UK, it's probably cheapest and easiest to get a kit from Trail Master. Probably from the BigJimny shop.

You could also try Arbil for a complete suspension from Old Man Emu (ARB).

Shocks are probably a little softer than the ones from Trail Master.

Is the trail master made so it can be comfy on the roads, so the quality off-road is compromised? Im sure i read something like this the other day...

I don't mind what the quality is like on road as i want its off road abilities to be the best!

Depends what you mean by offroad capabilities. For offroad racing, going fast you need pretty firm shocks. But if if just green laning, going slowly over bumps, slopes and such. You may want a softer shock.

I'd take the Trail Master Sport shocks as I use my jimny for competition.

No racing mate, just fancy joining a local 4x4 club that go on trails, and want a Jimny that can keep up with the pack during all kinds of terrain that gets thrown at me. So really want the best set up for technical stuff, whatever that suspension that may be?

If you have winch and stuff out front, Trail Master diesel springs with comfort shocks. If just a plain standard Jimny without winch, heavy bumper and such, go for normal Trail Master springs with comfort shocks.
