i cant knock the calmini kit, i went for the 3.5" lift with the 2" reverse shackle and the 1.5" lifted springs, on the road the suspension is harder than standard but its excpected with stronger leaves, im still bedding mine in, steering wise, iot comes with a 'drop pitman' arm that dropps your steering arm down to compensate for the reverse shackle, and keeps the steering like standard also the kit comes with an anti roll bar (if you want to fit it) which keeps on road steering virtually the same as a standard sj, and because the springs are stiffer they compensate for the ride height, so body roll is just about the same as normal. The only thing that would stop me having another calmini kit, is the articulation, although it gives the lift the articulation isn't as good as i excpected, id say its on a par to normal (if not slightly worse) but that may be because im using the anti roll bar and its a well known fact that if you remove the bar the articulation is much better
