So I bought a Navara about 2-3 months ago. The thing is falling to pieces.
I do a lot of dirt road driving at 100km/h so I'd say I'm pretty harsh on my suspension and brakes, and now I'm looking at completely upgrading both.

I am currently running 2" Ironman Suspension Lift in the front and 2" EFS Suspension lift in the rear. No blocks, and 285's on a 2007 V6 Spanish built D40
Both of the Ironman shocks and one of the rear EFS shocks have busted (leaking oil and one front shock has even split in half) so I HAVE to replace these first and was looking at purchasing these. ARE THEY GOING TO BOLT STRAIGHT ON OR ARE THERE MODIFICATIONS TO BE DONE FOR THE FRONT COILOVER SHOCKS?

Brakes are next as my rotors are worn down so far Im not even able to machine the rotors, they have to be replaced. These are the ones being considered.

- Protex Drum Shoes from GSL

Once the truck is safe again Ill be looking at getting my Calmini Kit. Now this is where I get lost. The shocks I listed above, are they going to be able to be reused on the calmini? And am I better off not going external resivour and waiting off and getting this kit with the front cOilovers and calmini rear shocks?

You can use any sort of coil/strut, leaf pack, and shocks with the Calmini Kit, you can have a standard height or a lifted set up on top of the Calmini.
The calmini 5" kit is basically only a diff drop kit that you then add what ever suspension components to that.

You dont necessarily need to use any particular brand, so you dont need PRG but that is entirely your choice.
 
So the provided shocks in the kit? Are they for a standard height or are they the same as you'd see in a 5" suspension lift?
If so they would be bigger (with the calmini 5" coilovers) than the 2.5" external resivour King Shocks? however the King shocks would, im assuming provide a better ride quality?
 
the provided shocks in the pic are just the rear, which will cater for the block and shackles needed to keep the ute level.
the coilovers will be as long as the lift you run, remember the 5" kit does NOT change the amount of travel you will get, it only lowers the diff which in turn gives the extra height.
The extra travel comes in which coil and shock you choose.
