Hi Mark,
Finally got a chance to call John today. Thanks for putting me onto him, he was extremely helpful!
He has quoted me on both Bilstein 1478LT's and the 897's with a Dobinson 327 coil.
My question (since getting off the phone!) is why the 327? The database shows it has a smaller spring rate than my current Tough Dogs (232 vs 260). Are those figures correct? If so, my TD's are somewhere between 327's and 329's but 20mm shorter. So I'm thinking I should just go with your suggestion of a 20mm spacer to make up the difference in length and save the coin? Sorry, I'm trying to sort through the incredible amount of data accrued on this website but couldn't find an answer!
Also, what are the main differences between the shocks he has quoted?
Thanks!
