Marcos Maniacs

We are running the full shock/spring kit from AVO on out woodie 
Marcos.

We have so far had good results with them on 195/60 group-N treaded 
tyres at 2 bar front and 2.1 rear. Start at about 10/12 clicks from 
0. Using a 22mm solid front A/Roll bar. Despite being locked into the 
50/50 split they seem to respond well to average track conditions. 
(tending towards understeer with standard chassis rake)

The fulll shock/spring kit is listed on their website somewhere. 
Better results gauranteed if you 'phone them.

Hope this helps

Cheers

JV
