Paul,
I'm very happy with my shock/spring setup. Haven't bottomed out in months!
On the AVO website click on "products", then "race coil springs", then "2.25" race coil springs". All the different weights and lengths are listed.
Let me know if you have more questions.

Don,
I will be replacing a bent lower Radius Rod on the drivers side,
sourced from Rory, I did a search to find your email as my shocks
are "tired" and I'll have the rear end apart. Do you have any other
advice on the shocks/springs --- you mentioned you should have got
the springs from AVO but I didn't find them on their website... I
have the Mantula frame/body with the Ford 2.8 Cologne V6. I have
used the info from your email in an inquiry to AVO, they may answer
some of these ???, but the more I know the better off I'll be...
Thanks for any help,
Paul

ordered the back two and paid aother 60 pounds shipping. Not smart!

Two rear springs were 36 pounds (18 pounds each) from Demon Tweeks.
Best to order the springs with the shocks from AVO and save the
shipping charge for multiple shipments.
