I've got 175lb on the back same length and dia as standard ones
and on the front i'd go with 150lb same length and dia as standard

Hi John, yeah thats what i was going for. Dont suppose you know the front/rear spring lengths along with the internal diameter?
Cheers

Got mine from Protech who were most helpful and very reasonably priced.
If you measure the open length of the shocker (centre of eye to eye) they will give you the correct length of spring. I think it's 5in shorter than shocker ( not 6in as were on my rears).
My poundage is similar to previous reply and now seems more comfortable whilst managing to cope on the track. Standard springs would probably be better for the track.

soz Adam i missed your reply, i'll have to pop in the garage as i still have the standard springs. so 1.9 dia and i think the lengths. i think were 8" front 9" rear

i'll confirm tomorrow, unless someone else does first!
