sorry if I sound stupid, still a newbie here. What I wanted to know is it possible to install longer struts, shock absorbers and coils like the outdoor kit to get the lift. I feel if I compile the kit I can get a good price.

I guess you can buy the longer springs from Outdoor auto, and replace rear shocks for longer ones. But you'll have troubles finding the front struts. It's not gonna be cheaper then RR kit anyway. RR kit is the cheapest solution, but not the best one. If you wanna replace the coils, you might as well go for this kit: http://outdoorauto4x4.com/p/891090/grand-vitara-suspension-lift-kit.html

Ok so i decided to go for RR lift kit and OME springs 20mm lift. My question is would the procomp es3000 323509 work fine although the springs are 2 cms longer?

They will work. Thats the maximum length the suspension can extend anyway. In other words, longer springs in this case will not give your suspension more downward movement.
I wanna see how this set up works out. You basically getting a 3" lift here. Personally, I wouldn't be lifting that much.

2" lift on GV looks like the maximum lift you can do. You'll definitely have problems adjusting camber angles. And there is going to be alot of stress on a front diff, if it's going to be drivable at all. But that's just theoretical guesses, I might be wrong, and it could work out good.

already know the struts of Top-R still not strong, I believe
we will get better struts from some brand (Procomp or Bilstein). only need is the time. actually, the kits of top-r only lift body front 2.5"/ rear 3"

The kit did not work? The difference of OME springs + RR Kit compared to the 2.5" lift provided by outdoorauto4x4 is 10mm, do you think this will really make a difference? I'm getting really worried atm. I have recieved my RR kit but still waiting for the springs.

It's really hard to predict how it is going to work out, since nobody has done it like that before. I really hope it works! Keep us posted.
