suitable springs

It says they are suitable for a 1300 locost
Does anyone know the weights of the 1300 xflow and a 3.2 aj16 engine and would these shocks be ok for aj16.
If not where can i find some that would be suitable?





How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

Hi, not sure what an aj16 engine is, or how much it weighs, but the shocks could be used. I would think that if the engine is heavy then you will need to fit harder front springs, at least. I have the Ford V6 2.9i fitted, and my front springs are 350lbs. I think that 2ltr pinto uses around 200lbs, (not sure on that). The only comment I would make about the units advertised, is that they are not damping adjustable, which "could" be a problem. But then you pays yer money and takes yer choise. HTH Ray.





To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

They are the GTS tuning adjustable shocks. They are a bargain at £150.
