what shocks are those? as iv bought the haynes build your own sports car on a budget book today

Thats the one and why you are on this forum... I can't remember what length the shockers are ..guessing 13" open?

An excellent purchase there...Well Done.

The dampers are 13" open with a 1" top hat extension - springs 350lb front and either 200lb or 250lb rear, book says rear 200lb but i find 250lb on the rear makes the car more balanced.

Don't forget the pics....>AndyH

if your fitting a bike engine you will only need 300lb springs max at the front.

after having my iva what i dont get is why we are fitting softer springs at the back? my car was slightly heavier at the back than it was at the front.

for people with big arses

but surely the more weight the stiffer the spring needs to be

if i wanted soft suspension i would drive my tintop. that thing is smoother than smooth on a smooth thing.
