as i have said i have 14-9.5's and i have not had my roadster finished yet but are dimentionaly the same and have had them fitted in my chassis.
dont forget the spring is more likely to need to be longer.
iirc i had 350lb 8" for the front (car engine) and went for 220lb 9" for the rear
the std car was 13-9" shocks +1" extension with a 8" spring (350lb f 200lb r) but as people have pointed out the spring in the front was set nearly as low as it could go with std ride hight.
this is why when i was selecting a longer shock i only got a longer spring for the rears so both sets would be mid way in the ajustment.
