can any one please tell me the over all length & the travel of a coil over used on a locost please. jon

Mine are 9" closed, 13" open at front and back. I made them both the same to simplify purchase Some use slightly shorter on the back I believe.

thanks marcus

Mine are the same, as I'm on a tight budget I used upgraded sport shocks from an old style vw beetle, came to under £200 for all corners, about half the price of gaz coilovers.

How did you get on with the spring rating?
