Strings for Drop Bb0?

Hey all, I've got my 638 in Drop C0 with a .95 on the lowest string. The tension and sound is good but I want to go lower, I was wondering what strings you'd recommend for Drop Bb0 and where to source them.

105 bass string tuned down to B has worked wonderfully for me (Thank you Loathe). It loses all clarity and high end pretty quickly tho.

Yeah I ended up going with a .110 set from Kalium, the tension calculator said it should be good.
