Just wanted to let you know that the rear shocks have changed from their original design and are a much softer valving than before (as Bob mentioned previously).  Also we are working on a new front strut as well.  Any questions, feel free to email or call.

I'm running Calmini's 2" Lift in my X-90 Daily Driver (1000 miles/week) and love it. It is 100% Calmini Kit (shocks, struts, etc...) and it rides as good or better than stock.  For building an off-road vehicle though I would say go with their 3" Kit.

Kit also includes: new ball joints, heavy duty tie rod extensions w/ tie rod ends, rear track bar bracket, replacement front struts, rear shocks w/boots, bump stop extensions, strut spacers, complete hardware, and polyurethane bushings at all contact points



Any chance you will be getting rid of the strut spacers in favor of longer struts in the redesign?

I can't begin to tell you what an improvement this is!  On the original shocks, with as light as the 2-door is in the rear, it was just brutal.  Now, it's a great ride, even with the tires at 23 psi.  I sometimes wheel with a Toyota club, and they can't believe the obstacles I clear on 31's, while they're battling them on 35's.
