G60 0 Posted September 18, 2003 i think the avo's are known for being ridiculously hard... and the threads rust like a mofo if you dont grease them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRINGOG60 0 Posted September 18, 2003 Cheers G60 - that rules the Avo's out then! :shock: Ive heard that the konis arent good either as alot of them fail and leak so not going down that route either. :? Venom Motorsport do a kit called Viper tech for 250 sheets that includes poly bump stops but dont know if its any good- any one got this on their wagon??? Or any one know of a good setup?

G60 0 Posted September 18, 2003 konis have been recommended the most. some bad ones have leaked ya.. but they shouldnt so you can have them replaced free of charge. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GRINGOG60 0 Posted September 18, 2003 konis have been recommended the most. some bad ones have leaked ya.. but they shouldnt so you can have them replaced free of charge. Which ones do you mean though? Are we talking coil overs or the standard top adjustastable shocks with spring? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sham69 0 Posted September 18, 2003 Its worth spending good money on the suspension, Koni's or coilovers are the ones to go for. Forget the Avo's they'll shatter your spine!! :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jims corrado 0 Posted September 18, 2003 Sham, hiya mate at last someone listens to me!!!! dont buy them, they are fine if all the roads you drive on are smooth as glass and you dont mind them rusting and siezing up. spend your money on something else jim (ex avo owner) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted September 18, 2003 I can heartily recommend the supersport coil-overs that Venom sell... £400ish quid and a reasonable ride (if you don't drop it on the end-stops!) and seemingly good build quality... I've done about 7K miles in mine since fitting them 6 months ago and have had no problems... (with the coilovers anyway. Everything else has gone wrong, except the suspension! :roll: ) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
petervr6 0 Posted December 22, 2003 please dont go for the avo's. i have them and it HURTS when i go over bumps. also i have already had to go a new offside shock as it died. go for the konis Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Henny 0 Posted December 22, 2003 I'll move this to "Tuning and Mods" as it's not really anything to do with bodykits... 8) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
supercharged_devil 0 Posted December 22, 2003 I have Avo coilovers and have for the last 4 years, they are still in as good nick as when I bought them but the ride is stupidly hard even on the softest setting. Im thinking of changing to FK's next they seem to have a good reputation at present. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Im thinking of changing to FK's next they seem to have a good reputation at present. FK's are excellent - make sure you spend the extra and go for the fully-adjustables (konigsports). Nice comfy ride when set to softest damping, but then make sure you have enough arch clearance to take the big bounces, or you will scrub your tyres to pieces :oops: .
