Coil overs

Can anyone remind me what length coilovers I need for a live axle bike powered 1995 striker.
Also what springs would be best for a track day sprint hillclimb car.
Cheers

My fronts are 12.5" and my rears are 14" centres.

Mines a cec with 140 rears and 200 front which I believe is a lot softer than most run but it suits me

Ok thanks
So 12.5 wouldn’t work on the rear.
See the protec coilovers for sale on here and see what you think

You could purchase extended top eyes to get an extra 2 inches

That is what I did and they seem to work really well with full range although mine is IRS so not 100% the same.

old strikers had the same length fitted front & rear...even often the same spring rate 135lbs/inch...which are good for rear, but a bit soft for a car-engine. this said...due to the rocker-suspension sylva´s need quite soft springs in front compared to a typical outboard-coilover seven
