Default Escort Cosworth Suspension

Looking for some advice here folks, i've had my escort cosworth a few months now and it came with full AVO coilovers on it, in my opinion when driving it the suspension just feels cheap and nasty, so i've though about selling these and getting a better suspension kit, so can anyone recommend a decent coilover kit, no tack use, and up to 1500 pounds

cheers

I would say Koni would probably be your best bet, my dad had AVO's on his and binned them off for Konis....

Ive had konis and bilstein with eibach springs and I must say my new gaz golds are far better. Havent tried AVOs though so I cannot directly compare them.

I have AVO coilovers on mine and am quite impressed with them.

The problem with coilovers is that most people fit them and don't get them setup properly.
