Thinking of buying some Avo coilovers,
Are there any isues I need to consider when buying these for my 4x4 saff?
Ive seen them for sale on various sites and they come as a kit, does that mean the springs will be a suitable strength for road use?
IIRC they are chassis Dynamics springs with Avo shockers.

Also anyone with these fitted?
what are your views and what should I expect to pay?

Has anyone got coilovers?

I had AVO coilovers on my MK2 Golf a couple of years ago. They were easy to fit and I had no problems with them. Not sure of the setup with them to be honest, but I paid Ł500 for mine, my mate fitted them, we adjusted the height and I drove them for 2 years no problems.

Im sure Mike Rainbird said the kits usualy have the wrong spring rates!

Have a word with Mike as he sells them and can advice you on spring rates

Is there an ideal setting on these or is it just trial end error?

Iv'e had my coilovers on the front of my 3dr cos for a few months but find the car a bit unstable when you get bumps in the road, i mean at speed, if you were to hammer down a country lane & you hit a slight dip or rise you feel like your going to bounce off the road. I haven't played with settings at all yet, set them up at the same height as my old suspension (koni & standard ride height ) & quarter of a turn off of the minimum, suppose i need to try them at different settings. Its firmed it up for the track but worse on the road as its more nervous.
