Default Spax or Avo

Ok, i'm building my project Capri still,now originally I bought Koni's for the build, but I don't like em. Now on my other Capri I have Spax already, but wondering if anyone has fitted Avo's. Are they top adjustable? Are they any good?

Are they more suited for the track or they good for the road too? I found the Koni's i'd bought were only 2 position change, and you had to strip the damn strut down to change the setting and even on the softer setting they were way too hard. I didn't know this until i'd bought the shocks


And thanks for the help Andy

The fronts used to be top adjustable, but i think they have gone to the knob on the body style now, just like the rears. If you contact them, and tell them what application you want, they will set them for what type of conditions you are after. My rears have a 20 click adjustment.
