Marcos Maniacs

Hi Maniacs,
  According to the Car and Driver Magazine article dated Dec. 1970 
about the 1970 Marcos, "to achieve the required minimum headlight 
height here in the U.S., the car was simply jacked up on its front 
suspension".
The springs are not the same front and rear (at least on the earlier 
cars.) Not only are they different lengths (front and rear) but 
the springs have different spring rates.
  The ride height could be adjusted with any shock that has an 
adjustable "spring perch".  For the Marcos, this would include Spax, 
Koni, and AVO and perhaps others. Be sure and specify the adjustable 
spring feature because they do make models that are not adjustable for 
ride height that still fit the Marcos.  When I last corresponded with 
Rory, he was "pushing" the AVO brand and Spax was in receivership.  I 
managed to get the Spax (I believe they are out of receivership now) 
but only after a long wait and some email correspondance with an 
engineer at Spax. Hopes this helps,
Mike Denman
