Hi All
Can anyone tell me the correct Open and Closed lengths required for shockers front and rear for a Stuart Taylor Locosaki. Also anyone got any ideas for spring poundage for road and trackday use!
Any suggestions greatly recieved.
Regards
Sting

There'll be somebody that can help.

Unfortunately I can't cause mine's something different.

Redesigned chassis to take a big hefty 3.5 BMW engine.

Therefore it'll need slightly modified suspension too....

Is here some reason why you don't want to ask the Stuart Taylor people?

Sort of. He can supply a set of avo`s for £300 + drat but he don`t take any credit cards. i`m just reviewing all my options but it`s difficult to compare prices when i don`t know the lengths.
Hence asking for help.
It would be of interest to know what some of you guys have fitted?

Well the book says extended length 14"(356mm)minimum between bolt holes,anda compressed length of 10"(254mm) maximum between bolt holes.
Spring rates,well its up to you really.

I got my shocks from dampertech £300 all in and thats delivered,fully adjustable springs and damper setting plus 3 year warranty.
Units are completely sevicable too,which i thought was good and i've heard no complaints.
