Spring length for Leda struts/coilovers

For those of you using Leda shocks on lowered track 944's (no torsion bars), what are you using for front & rear spring lengths and are you happy with the spring lengths your using ?

10 inch front, 8 inch rear. There is plenty of height adjustment capability both up and down with these lengths.

Thanks Jim thats handy. To put that in perspective I assume you'd be running around 1.5" lower ride height than stock on your track car?

My setup from Karl at Racers' Edge use 200mm all the way around IIRC. He would be an excellent source of technical info

yes, Karl is a GREAT guy to talk suspensions with. I would give him a call. but IIRC the rears should be 8" and i cant remember the fronts... but 10 seems good.

I purchased 8" Hypercoils, 350lb Front, 475lb Rears. A lot of web searching and advice from Karl at Racers Edge & LEDA. Unfortunately not fitted yet so no idea what they will ride like.

regards
