Surely it will have to be coilovers.

Ohlins are the top of the line but would cost thousands. What about Bilstein, koni, Eibach? What kind of stuff do they do for ur car?

Bilsteins from Scotty.

For the money involved, it's the best way.

I'm doing exactly the same - going from AVOs to Billies.

Just change the AVO insert and go for a different spring rating to save all the aggro

Not a big problem.

If you change them for something else they will only rust in time too.
