Dear Listers!

Does someone have the COMPRESSED length, eye to eye center of a STD rear
shock absorber from MK1/2/3 Spitfire?

I am trying to compare this to the GAZ replacement items I have. I believe
that the STD shock is 9.5" .

All this to try and find out why my swing spring conversion has ended up
with so much positive camber. I am trying to rule out the shock absorbers as
having any effect on the whole setup.

Many thanks
