Associated big bore springs (12mm) will be fine; available in packs of three different rates if you'd like a choice on set up. If you're on Astro/Carpet I'd probably go for stiffer set. Grass etc somewhere medium.

For standoffs I like Avid; about £5 per pair last time I looked, but not sure on B44 sets or sizes. Worth getting decent ones with a wide base; I bent a fair few shock mount bolts when I had a B44 and wider standoffs help prevent it.

Hope that helps!

got the stand offs gone to put them in they just seem awfully tight to press in?is this the case?

whats the best way to get them in?

that looks like you have the older style shock tops, which have a slightly smaller diameter.
if you can find the parts for the b44.2, it will work, otherwise you'll need to replace the shock tops.
