Are Ironman Suspensions any good? I have a 95 Disco. I've had a few OME kits and I'm pretty loyal. I've been very happy w/ their performance.
Oh, btw, I'm in the US so there's zero info available here on Ironman.

Do you have access to Bilstein shocks over there?? If you are discerning, then go to LRautomotive's website in Melbourne, and order a set of Bilsteins and LRA springs to suit from Andrew or John. ph +61 3 94644094
OR, You can try DeCarbon shocks, I have them on my RR and I'm VERY impressed. You should have a distributor in the US of A.

'92 Rangie Sherwood/turbo intercooled isuzu4BD1 /ACE/ full leather/2.5" exh/2.5" body lift/DeCarbon shocks/LR tanks/LT95 back in and OK now, Sals conversion soon...
Pick up one of their steering dampers, really good product but X3 with the rest. Procomps will go well in my opinion and they are made in USA.

I bought some second hand bilsteins from one of the guys who frequents this forum, that was about 2 years ago now. I was going over them and replacing some of the washers and rubbers. I gotta say, after the hiding those shocks have copped over the past couple of years they still fet like the day I fitted them.
Just as an added comment about the bilstein reliability, A mate and I did the OZ Safari in 1992 in a rangie, we had the bilsteins on the rear so hot that the rubber gaiters dripped off the shock body like mozzarrella cheese, and when they had cooled, they still worked and hadn't leaked!!!disco95 wrote:I bought some second hand bilsteins from one of the guys who frequents this forum, that was about 2 years ago now.

Obviously in hindsight we should've used 4 on the rear, that event was a goldmine of learning and experience.

I also ran Bilsteins in the '94 Safari.
I used 2 per corner and they were "comfort set" standard for a Range Rover.
I didn't need to change a shock the whole way whilst the Isuzu Longhorns were changing 8 custom shocks per vehicle per day ($4,000 per day x 9 days = $36,000). They ran 3 vehicles!
One shock failed after about 3 years use (including the Safari and now after 12 years it is the only one to have failed.
I put new ones on the front when I lifted the suspension and moved the old fronts to the rear.
Whilst changing the shocks I checked them all and they were fine.
I wouldn't use anything else.
Even now they only cost me $250.00 each. Given the work they've done that's cheap.
