Could be best to ask 3GE,if not MK use a similar idea.
Would be interesting to see a pic of the suspension set up.

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.
