Totally agree. The standard setup is fine for around town at lower speeds but the dive under braking at anything over 30mph or when emergency braking caught me by surprise a couple of times.
Sorry if I sound like a politician but I've been a member of this forum and have had my car since Feb and have followed many threads on lifts etc. I thought I could bring some clarity because the topic is well worn.
As for why I went for the ones on the jimny style website, well I just couldn't find any alternatives. Everything seemed to be part of a lift kit but if you can find different brands I'm sure they will make the same difference. A lift kit is also double the price fitted and I don't ever go off road.
Thank you for the reply, I had a look at the link below, the price was more than I expected.
Ah well, its only money, I just contacted my local importer, they are not sold here just yet.
I appreciate your feedback of their performance.

Have a look here, they aren't cheap so do your research but for me they have made the car more stable over speed and less bouncy.
Most of the bigger names do something for a standard height Jimny with some degree of improvement on the factory. Trailmaster comfort or sport, Monroe Adventure, Bilstine b6, AVO adjustable to name a few. You may be paying more than genuine parts price but you will be getting something worth having.

That's coming up as a 45mm lowering set with koni heavy track dampers. Expect that to be very firm and go round corners like a mk1 escort 1300 in clubman spec. An absolute blast as a weekend toy but a bit tiresome for the commute. Very similar to my track setup. H&R have a well deserved quality reputation especially in German modified circles.
