GTD spring upgrade

[Curt]

I bought AVO's to replace my Spax. 1 way adjustable.

The minimum clamping length of the AVO is smaller than the Spax. So the ride hight is for the rear too high.

Open close length of avi shocks are:
Front 14' and 9.5'
Rear 15' and 10'

When looking at the length recommendations they say that the ideal spring length should be 9' front and rear? Could not find clear values in the forum to confirm.

For spring rate I learned after reading the forum that
Front 275lb
Rear 350lb

should be OK for road use and occasionally track use? I was wondering what the standard GTD spring values are?

So before fixing the suspensions I wanted some advice from the specialist...
Make these values sense or didn’t I do my homework properly...

THANKS..

Bit soft for track use. Eibach do a dual rate spring set up for the GTD that is very comfortable on road and track. Effectively rising rate springs. Bit pricey but I think worth it. This spring set up was based around Koni dampers so talk to them and see what they say.

The rates you state above seem to be the standard GTD rates as far as I can recall.

Thanks, yes I saw some info about there progressive spings. But what spec do i need for a GTD? Is someone using them?

Eibach should have the details on record.

For the springs I went not for the EIbachs... Not only price but also the fact that finding the right values was not that easy.

Just bought some spring from Faulkners Race Springs. Came from jjcraceandrally.co.uk.

Went for 300 front 350lbs/inch rear. By having a lighter Rover Engine this could make sense.

Now waiting for the weather to test it.
