bilstein B4's work well with them

B4s take a 30 mill drop all day long. Pot holes wouldn't deck the suspension out would they? Surely the wheel would drop into the hole meaning the shock would top out? Bottom out would occur under full compression, like in a corner then hitting a bump( not a hole). Something doesn't add up still.

Irmscher springs give 30 mill drop afaik, so you need shocks that will cope with that lower ride hight. Irmscher shocks obviously, if you can find them.
B4s do work with irmscher springs. I have them on mine, as recommended by several others here.

Not aware of "normal" size B4 s either, one size only I thought.

I did notice when fitting mine that there is s bit of a clang when the shock returns to full length (tops out) after compressing by hand. Fully compressed seems well damped bottomed out.

What is the ride hight now with new springs is it lower than stock?

wrong shocks f"ck f&ck F&ck and i ordered them over the bay and waited forever for themso i'm thinking customer service isn't going to help me here! oh well i geuss i can sell them on being on the car only a week! booooollllllllocks! thanks Chris you've been a great help with this i'll let you know how the new shocks are!! when i finally get them in!
