First,
That bloke called Kieth,(:D ).... how is John doing, on the mend I hope?

Second,
The shocks are 13" open length, as for spring rates then that depends on the weight of the car ,motor used etc and how you like the car to feel as nobody is the same.

Do you have room in the front to fit them Layton,the steering rack is there aswell.

yeh plenty of room mate 3ge built the chassis for a show. steering rack is right at the front and the brackets to take the suspension is about 6 inches behind it.

Use something to mock up the shockers the same diameter and length and put it in place and see what it looks like and this will give you some idea of what will fit,plastic drain pipe ?:)

[layotn20]

isn't to bad mate as the suspension bolts in the middle of the chassis at the bottom about 5/6 inches behind the steering rack. and the colum is rite over in the off side corner, if that makes any sense to you :rolleyes:

Wrong way around.. 350's at the front, unless you are using a bicycle engine
