And yep you will probably have to "tweak" the inner arch. (**** it with a hammer)

Not everyone does tho, i only had to "dress" the drivers side.

Gaz are one of the best.

Different spring sizes + pissed spanish builder..

Adam

Spring sizes are same as Gaz (i.d.)

But agree with the pissed builder comment lol lol

Oh are they? I know you some times get 2.2 and 1.9.. every yeah the build fitment is always different.

Adam

Yup, AVOs are 1.9.
2.2-2.5ID would be a huge struggle/impossible to fit with turrets

I agree. Did this with mine. Probably didnt need to, but they dont catch at all now.

My Gaz ones went straight on with no mods at the rear. Probably the only thing that has gone right on my car.
