As above really, ive got some money put aside to change my current suspension....but what do ppl rekon??

I've been recommended and currently saving for a Set of AVO's - have u considered them ??

You can get a discount thanks to being a member with a direct purchase and being a UK company will be able to offer the best 'support' should you require that (often with Coilovers you do); their rebuild service is amazing and you'll not be left waiting months to get things sorted like with other brands !

Do LEDA still do coilovers?  They were very well respected a few years back and supplied a fair amount to rally teams etc.

EDIT:  Just looked at the price, they do, but they start at over £900 per kit

ive seen the Avo's advertised but not much else really, are they height and damping adjustable??

i'll probably keep it at a set height when im happy but the damping is what im really after....the roads around by me are getting worse everyday!!  

i spoke to Dubmeister and they recommend Weitec... but thats all they stock!! the guy was very helpful tho'(top bloke)... he didnt really have too much good to say 'bout FK Konig's...says they will seize after approx 6mths  
He used to run FK's but has since changed to Weitec (could be the discount he gets i suppose  )

so again i'm left scratching my head.... the scrooge in me says get normal shocks and lowering springs, but i sort of love the stiff ride  (but it shakes the car too death almost), so Mr impulsive says get coilovers....

Spax are also in the mix, but again if im going to do it i want to do it right this time.............


FK Konigs
Weitec (very pricey tho')  
Avo's
Spax RSX


also, does anyone know of good companies to get them??

[welshgar]

  bloody hell, How much for those LEDA's???

  the missus will have enough to say if i plumped for those

I've just ordered a set of FK Konig's for my mk2 so will let you know what they're like as soon as fitted, unless you've bought some by then 

[welshgar]

Cheers m8y, could you let me know also about the setting up of them too..

i know they all take a while to "settle" but what about getting them to sit "right" to start with!

Avo only do coilovers for the fronts?!?!!? the rears ive been told are normal shocks and springs, set up to -30mm or   
-60mm.

does anyone else know of this ??

K&W, Weitec or TEIN basically if you need that ultimate ride, control & quality, there is no compromise on these makes, they are Damper manufacturers and not rebadges dampers.
