I must be boring. I've always just replaced my shocks with original Land Rover ones. Expensive compared to other makes but you know what you are getting.

Wales 2007 Defender 90 Other CSW Trident Green
I fitted a set of B6’s several years ago, and I have to say I was really happy with them. I immediately noticed a difference both in ride comfort and handling. I must say, though, the first set Paddocks sent was for a Range Rover, and I had to return them for a Defender set. I do not know if there is a difference between the two sets, as they looked identical, but if Bilstein make two sets for different vehicles, maybe there is. For those who like Welsh Mountains and narrow boats have a look at my videos and photos at..

United Kingdom 1985 Defender 110 200 Tdi SW Auto Baltic Blue
I've got them on a very heavy 110.

been running them for 25+ years, just on third set.

yes unladen they can be bouncy but kitted up I find them perfect.

I have driven a lot of other 110s with different set ups and find Twisted and Bowler to be the best.

they use custom Bilstein.

I did try another brand for a few moths but felt they wern't working, can't remember the brand.

ask Bilstein for comment, they are usually good at responding.
