Good point.

It's also vital to measure the required stroke and get a set which go shorter than the minimum required and longer than the maximum required. If you don't you'll bottom out the dampers at one end or the other (or both) and bugger them up.

AVO do 3 separate stroke lengths to cater for this, but if you find your range required doesn't match any of these then they will make a custom length for you. I had this on my car, it's a 1986 model which originally had Armstrong lever arm dampers, but I fitted it with a rear hoop conversion from Uncle Melvyn. Tim Ayers sorted me out with a custom set vey promptly, excellent service.
