Good, Bad or Indifferent?

 

I like them, a pretty good budget setup IMO

 

a mate had avo coilovers on his rover 25. handling was great

 

got coilovers on mine, ok so far and good handling. good price aswell

 

IMO of course.

Too hard, and they don't last. Wear out far too quickly. Pointless for quick road driving, as they're too unforgiving. I had AVOs, and still do on the XR. Price to rebuild the AVOs was too high so I bought a set of new SPAX coilover (this was for my old Polo GTi) and was impressed with them.

XR suspension is being replaced with Bilstein ASAP.

 

You get what you pay for

The dear ones are good, and the cheap ones are cheap (obviously lol)

They do quite a few different types

 

The monotube ones are great, but at just over £1k, not exactly cheap...

The budget ones by their own admission, are nothing more than height adjustable "show" suspension.

 

cant fault them for the money problem with asking that question here is that theres people with suspension kits that cost thousands so anything else is shit

 

i got the mono tube ones, they are fookin ace!

 

Basically sums it up then, not really up to what I want...

 

got them on my car (avo coilovers). and the car really handles well even though i havent driven it in 1 1/2 years.

been thinking of breaking the car or selling it the way it is now.

make sure you change the springs to ensure you get the right ones as the ones in the kit are far too hard.

Mike knows which ones
