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.
