Hi Phil.
The first one has the much cheaper set up and are generic products, however Dobinson shocks are top quality and have stood the
test of time. As I said with the heavy duty springs on the rear they are stiff if there is no weight on them, but they do the job once you do have weight on them, so yes great ride it lifts it up and is a no fuss from standard fix that is great value for money.
My problem with the second set is, it is hard to adjust them for my day to day use EG: for the ride to be great every day I would have to adjust them every day, depending on how many pax I have in the car, if I have it set up for 2 passengers one day and then have 6 the next, I would have to change the set up, so finding a happy medium is a lot of work. So they are expensive and a lot of work from standard to get it right.
Drummond Motor sport make
suspension for the Paris Dakar rally cars, the North American motor sport market, the rally market and the V8 utes, the guy who fitted them told me they are trying to get into the 4WD passenger car market, the shocks would be great if you wanted to race you 4WD at
Bathurst but on a on off road passenger car they need to do some more work in my opinion.
Hope this helps
