rear shock length?
Shock length can depend on axle mount position and turret height.
Ride height is a different matter as its adjustable on coil overs generally

Thanks for the reply, The turrets are 14" from bottom of chassis rail to top of turret, and the axle shock mount will be on top of tube, I did phone Burton and they said it should be the same as standard shock length but I don't know what that is either, What length have other people fitted???

Re: rear shock length?
you will probably have no choice anyway, most use the "upright bilstien" type which was based on a capri rear shock originally i believe.

Try the gaz rear coilover. Should be spot on for what you need.

Tarmac length gaz rear coilovers are what I've got and if you remove the bumpstops the coilovers will allow the axle to touch the chassis rails before bottoming out although you'll need a bigger diff tunnel to get it down this low.
Take a look at this thread and you'll see how it sits

Look at post no 41 and you'll see how it sits(i didn't send them back for shortening just left the bumpstops off as they are quite long)
