I think it says in the book.
From memory I recall its something like 12" fronts and 11" rear for a book car.

Procomp should be able to sort you out with correctly sized, sprung and valved protech shocks.

If you get on to the guy at GAZ he will tell you that the book is not correct, and tell you the correct lengths. HTH Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

I would agree.
Pro-techs are also aluminium bodied so lighter and won't rust.
Matt really knows his stuff and builds a lot of race Locosts. He'll be able to tell you what you need.
