Will these shock fit ok? Thought it was a good price but can't see if there's a catch?

Anything wrong with having the 1.9" springs?

Cheers

Most people use 1.9 springs and 14" shocks are also used by most builders. Very good price.

Nice one, I'll be making a purchase then any advise on springs?
I'm 11 stone and fitting a cbr 1000rr engine

If you do a search for spring rates you will find loads of info.

There was a group buy some time ago for car engine Roadsters 14" x 1.9 with 250 rear and 350 front.

On page 5 read Baz-r update who has roads similar to ours.

For bike engine my guess as a starting point would be between 200/220 R and 300/325 front.

Just in case, 14" is no good for MX5 builds at the back. I have 12" at the back on mine.

Ok I'll do a search. And it's seirra running gear so I'm ok.
The only thing I'm concerned about is the end pieces on the struts arnt very wide, certainly not 34mm so do I just space them?
