I'd avoid AVO at all costs. Know too many people that have had them leak and go wrong after no time at all

The roll bar isnt very substatial so you wont really notice the difference once the coilovers are fitted, Brom also advised me when i had mine done that it wasnt needed. You cannot run it anyway as it would turn the traverse bar with the up & down movement.
