Suspension Details

[chimaera]

I am looking to replace and uprate the shocks and springs on my 93 4ltr chimaera and was wondering if anyone out there knows the technical specs I require (before I have to take the car to bits)
I am looking for the following dimensions/rates for both front and rear sets:
Open Length of Shocks and Springs
Closed length of Shocks (and if bumpstops are required/best left out)
Recommended spring rates for front and back.
A bit of background behind this is that I began competing in the Scottish Sprint championship last year with the standard car, I won best overall newcomer and am now completely hooked, so new bits here we come!!
Any info/advice on the above or indeed 'off the shelf' gear would be much appreciated.
Yours hopefully!!

Thanks for the info,
I was wondering if anyone had any experience with AVO shocks as these seemed to be a good compromise between cheap stuff and Nitron?
