Go careful when getting springs for a normal seperate shock/spring setup as I tried to guess a height with mine and it ended up rather low on the back, they were 100mm so your guess is about right, but if they're high poundage they really will drop it 80mm rather than the 40-50 or whatever you're looking for as the difference between compressed and free length will be smaller.
Well if the plat forms are not shifting cut them off and buy new platforms etc..
As for shifter, you need to measure it and cut it to take the kink out of it, look in Dar, or Olly Hewitt's WIP's, or PM Dar.

I have now drilled out the grub screws so MAY have damaged the threads that platforms are sitting on, and i would need to screw the new platforms lower than that bit of thread. So probably will just go for a seperate spring setup.Quote:

Hmm, saying that though, new platforms is a cheaper option. I dont want the dampers bottomed out though when i lower it down for the height i want!! AVOs are toss for anything more than about 40mil lol
That sounds about right :thumb: Although fairly low poundage, don't forget they will need to be higher than your coilover springs due to the mechanical advantage of the wheel over the inboard position.
The Avo coilover bodies are too long so if you ran seperate springs they would bottom out at about 70mm. I got them for mine and sent the whole rear setup back in exchange for seperate shocks and springs and the normal Avo rear dampers are shorter than the coilover ones. Pretty toss.
that'll be about 4.5-5 inch free length/height..Quote:

he only needs short springs if he can't free the adjusters, otherwise he's just gonna wind it down.Quote:
