I emailed them once for specs on their Oram (sp?) shocks but they never got back to me.
At the time they were copies of a 46mm piston Ohlins.

Ive googled, but cant find anything but a few links to sellers....typically no tech just oooh and wow factor :mad: tried scorpion racing also....nuda

i think but not sure the kit now comes with 15" rear and 12" front,
i have a complete set - unused here in my shed - i'll measure them later and get back to you

^^ yep there or there abouts maybe a touch under by my conversion's from mm
and front is pin to eye 720mm open length ( base of pin - centre of eye)
rear is eye to eye 940mm
you looking at buying a set?

[uninformed]

not looking at those, but wanted to know what shock travel length they are getting out of standard link mounts, ie radius arms and rear trailing arms/A frame.

looking at fox 2.5 or billy 9100 2.65 RR shocks....

thanks for your help.

Matt who I've done some driving with is/was the importer for Equipe. Here are some pics of its flex.

In terms of what the joints and links will do, Coreys Defender may be a better indicator. He ran about 1m shocks. In this pic, the Defender is still very firmly planted on the ground, where its about where the Equipe setup maxs out. I don't think I have any pics of it lifting wheels - not that it ever really did.

I'm not definate, but I think Sam or Tony may have made comment on what the A-frame will take in relation to developing one of their early cars (may have been Tonys rolled Hilux) I was thinking 14" but that doesn't sound right.

FYI, I have 14" travel shocks in the rear of Fluffy and with the springs dislocated it easily maxes them out (found this out when one of my hose clamp locators broke) :).

IMHO unless your a dedicated trailer queen, 14" of travel from the rear is more then enough and getting that to fit with standard mounts is a problem in itself.

dont really want more than 2 inches more in the rear than front. Will be redoing shock mounts.
