Just finished putting my Ironman shocks in today, have been using there springs for a few months. No hard workouts as of yet but there great onroad, just home from about a 200km test drive.. :D
I was going to go with the foam cell shocks but Vince @ Terraquip in Chch (the NZ Agents) said the nitro gas would be ideal. Was a bit worried that new Bigger bore shocks would be too harsh onroad, the SWB is bouncy enough as is but there spot on. Payed $158inc each for the shocks and the steering Damper was $173inc. Hope thats of some help.

Alot of guys run them over here and they seem to work and last really well. Ironman is getting a good reputation over here for quality priced goods. The guys are runnning shocks 1" longer then the springs.

I brought my old Terrano off the guys at Brown and Cope Dunedin, who had kitted it out with all Ironman suspension and gear and used and abused it as a promo vehicle for Ironman.

So who really knows the life it had before I got it, but I never had any problems with it and I cant fault Ironman suspension at all, and would fit it again.

I know that old terrano well. Towed t out many a time. Wayne and Pete at Brown and Cope dont sell much Ironman stuff any more, I heard that the Terraquip man showed up one day and said hi, I'm the new Ironman agent and you can now buy from me at 10% off retail.
How nice after many years as a Ironman agent.

But Ironman seem to have good product and I can vouch for their aftersales service after I bent their winch bar mount on the work hilux.. they sent a much stronger one out for free.
