Mud Child, did you have any issues with the coils from FOA fitting into the top of the spring cup? I've got a set of those, and just trial fitted them awhile back, and the coil would not fit into the seat on top unless I remove a small bit of material from the edge. looking forward to trying them out eventually.

actually in theory the kit Jeremiah posted (the OME springs/shocks/struts) is basically the same thing as using stock 4-door Vitara springs, ford mustang shocks and a strut mount flip?.  I mean wouldn't that basically yield the same results.

I was under the impression Boondox went under, the site has not been updated in over a year.  Shame too because they are local for me and was a good company
Not under, he's told me he has been very busy and doesn't get much internet time. PM "shredder" and let him know what you're looking for.

No, the OME shocks and struts are much better then doing a flip and mustang shocks.

I think the springs give you a bit more lift as well.

I had no trouble fitting the top of the spring in to the sprig bucket, they went in like there supposed to be there. Which Springs did you get? I recommend that you get them in there first chance you get, the ride is like night and day. I have quite a few HARD miles on them since I installed them and the ride height has not changed. Very happy with them!!!
