Looking good Ayjay, If we ever get any nice weather this year I should really get off my lazy ass and drive down to see your build. I had my Sierra master cylinder leak from the cap which also promptly ate all the paint off my pedal box & chassis rails I feel your pain!

About to order my suspenders

From reading earlier posts I think I need

4x 14"-9.5"

2x 8" front 350lb

2x 9"rear 250lb

AmI correct?--I dont want to get it wrong.I am on haynes book chassis with 1.8cvh engine sierra front hubs and sierra rear with drums.

I spoke to Rally design and was told 140/095/ B12.

However they said it was either blue or yellow springs because of the relevant rating

I was hoping for 1st choice black 2nd choice red

Hope this doesn't open a can of worms

Why not ring up Dampertech? That's what people used to do on here before Saturn started offering Protech shocks.

Protech will sell dampers directly too. Procomp (on LCB) also sell Protech dampers modified to their spec. Gaz will probably supply their dampers direct too as well as getting them from RD. Lots of options
