As said in other threads, I have Nitron coil overs fitted on mine. Just finished welding a bracket under the lower wishbone for strength (and piece of mind)

My front Nitrons measure 14" (off car) from center of top mount hole to center of bottom hole. The spring measures 7" before fitting. I have this wound up to 6" when fitted and this gives me about 2" wheel arch clearance. Sorry I don't know the spring weight.
Nitron's web site does not mention Wedge fitting but mine are not that old so they must sell them. They look exactly the same as the ones for a V8S only mine are not inverted.
Bit steep at £995 though

Hope these measurements help TT

Thats fantastic mate, thanks, Im tempted to try the Spax shocks, and I suspect the springs will be of a similar length to yours. Im not sure I can afford £1000 lol. thanks for the help

Brilliant idea. Send me the 200 pounds and I'll send you my SPAX shocks and my springs and then you can save up the 1000 pounds to get the real thing once you realize they're useless. LOL

Don't Gaz do a bespoke service? I'm sure I've seen on thier site that you can specify what you want and then have them made to order?

They are, I ordered mine through TVRcar parts £500ish & Str8six fitted to my SEAC.
They look good, just need setting up & fine tune.

Were they expensive?

I think the original seac's have a different type of fitting, seem to have a loop at both ends rather than a t piece and spindle, I tried tvr car parts last week and they only sell avo shocks for the standard car, the rears are height adjustable but the fronts aren't .

I have just been talking to a very helpful guy from Nitron, he says although they don't do a wedge specific kit, they can supply other fittings (like mine) as long as they have measurements and spring weights.
He also said he could look at past orders to see possibly what was sold.

Nitrons apparently come as standard with black springs. Mine have red , so he said that they will be Eibach springs that they do as an upgrade. Numbers should be stamped on them.

Let me know if you want spring number and I will try and sort that out. Can't remember seeing a number when I had them stripped off though and they are really clean and new looking

ETE I am almost sure the guy selling the yellow wedge in the classified section used to own mine as well, he most likely put them on mine (guess) and it looks like he has done something similar on that one so might be worth a call
