i need some coilovers asap, where can i get some off the shelf or with less than a week delivery and which coilovers are fully adjustable front and rear? are spax and avo's rear height adjustable? and do they both fit with minimum fuss

cheers

ben.

p.s. sorry admin if this should be in technical but it is mainly a query on getting hold of them rather than fitting them

Get some of them coilovers PVD used to sell KW or something. Think Big steve x has some for sale. They are good and the rear is adjustable on the rear beam via a adjuster on the base of the spring. Rick

I have the full Avo Coilover kit.... Im thinking about selling them as I need to raise funds for my new engine. They are 1 year old, and I have two sets off front springs... One that allow up to around 60-65mm and the others allow 80-90mm (but its on the bump stops at 90mm). The rears go down even lower! Look at the pics on my feature.

Contact me if your interested. They cost ?550 New Plus ?30 for the extra springs.

Sorry but I really don't know why people have such a problem with AVO Coilovers... maybe theres a load of faulty ones, cause mine are great. Anyone who's seen my car knows how low I run it on a daily basis and I have never had a problem! On the track there awesome, and even on a country road you just soften them up and there fine.

Good purchase benji if you ask me. I just hope they don't let you down as some people have experienced.
