Default Gaz Shock and Spring selection.

Hello All!

Long time no see
I'm looking at getting my shocks organized for the Skyline Roadster and could do with some advice. As most of you know it's got a rather large engine(300kgs with gearbox), a 135mm chassis stretch, and 2mm wall with welded 3mm steel floor so its quite a bit heaver than a normal Haynes Roadster. Can anyone please give me some advice as to what spring rates I should be using and also what shock to use? I'm using the standard Sierra build from the book so I think its 14" shocks that are required.

So far I think I should be using this... from Page 15 here. http://www.gazshocks.com/images/down...talogue_V2.pdf


4x - 140/095B12 shocks
2x - 2.25'' x 8'' x 350 lbs springs (Maybe higher i.e. 400?)
2x - 2.25'' x 9'' x 250 lbs springs
