Not sure what the rears are as there is no marks on them. But I upgraded the fronts to 225. But found on an airfield day, the front wheels scrapped the front clam shell so too soft. But ok for road use.
What They need upgrading to I don't know. But wil be going to track developments once car is on the road to get a full assessment done. Saves second guessing spring rates.
Before you invest in shocks, do some quick reading of suspension text books, and take some measurements.... it's quite revealing.
You might find you'll need different lengths shocks once you've made some mods to make the suspension geometry comform to "text book" good practice.
Pro-tech shocks are worth a look, as they are basically a rip-off of AVO shocks (the same guy that designed them, I understand worked for AVO previously), at a lower price.
That is the length I was provided with by Marlin. However, you should note that with that length the droop was excessive, and it caused the ball joints to neck.
