Maybe the design of the Carrera shock is such that a shorter spring is an
option. With AVO shocks, the spring seat has to be raised almost to the
maximum with the 10" spring to provide sufficient ground clearance. The 9"
spring wouldn't work at all.

Hi Everyone,
     i use Carrera shocks with adjustable seats and 10" springs. They are 
local (US) work well and give lots of choice. E mail if you want any info.
