| D3 Coil Springs and Shocker |
|
I have struggled to get a decent set of shock absorbers (dampers) for my base D3 here in the UK.
Searching posts on the forum doesn't give too much information, one thread led to some 'Greek' shocker but they are no longer produced.
I have upgraded the springs all round to Old Man Emu Heavy Duty 50mm lift, but was left with the Delphi shockers as the ones I was after from the Devon 4x4 website here in the UK are not compatible despite what they advertise on the website. (they still have not changed the page).
https://www.devon4x4.com/bilstein-b6-front...38093.html
Are NOT compatible even though they were advertised as such, see bottom of the page
https://www.devon4x4.com/spring-l-r-disco-2005-on-f.html
Are there anything that some of you guys are using that you could point me in the right direction, the new Delphi are not really suited to the 50mm lift and just a bit too much recoil / bounce in them.
Thanks in anticipation of replies! Club N.E.R.D.s

It would probably be better to post this question on AULRO.COM.

Mikey, these don't fit, ordered a set from Devon 4x4 and they are incompatabile with the coil springs. Club N.E.R.D.s

Lovells springs - http://www.lovellsauto.com.au/product5.php
They do springs and shocks

Using Bilstein shocks
But there are also posts suggesting the original shocks are fine to use with a 2 inch lift.

Ron the springs mount onto cups on the shock absorber these don't seem to be the right one's either. Looks like I will be sticking with the original.  Club N.E.R.D.s

Fair enough, at least you know they will fit!
I've seen a few threads on shocks where people have tried aftermarket but have gone back to the originals. They can't be that bad.
