Depends what ones your talking about tbh. The cheap Ł500 ones are just that cheap, my mate didnt even last a day ay Donington before they started pissing fluid out.

I've had the same issues with the cheap Avo's, stay well clear IMO

However they are guaranteed and they will fix them so you can't really complain about that.

I'm using Gaz coilovers on my Mk2, they've been sitting so long they will probably need a rebuild before its gets used lets hope not eh

buy proper bilstiens, don't mess about with cheap shit that will break in a matter of months.... Avo's are utter wank, Gaz seem to be ok but buy an old set of billies and get them rebuilt to your spec for Ł70 a damper... It will pay in the long run.

Avo's cost much less to rebuild to the spec you want, since having mine rebuilt no problems at all.
Why not come over roosie and I'll take you out in it ?
