Never used them, but if Steve sells it you can be pretty sure it does a good job.

I've got the full set, just not had the time to fit them yet.

I currently got Early Adjustable AVO's , just shock adjusstable not height or spring. so will be interesting to compare.

Everyone who I have taken out with current set-up thinks its very good. so will be interesting.

I've got the front setup. Not installed yet but well pleased with the quality of the product and instructions. Check delivery times when you order as mine took a while to come, but that was probably because it was the first production run. Best to do full geometry/ride height etc. measurements to start with so you have a base line to work from. This kit gives a large degree of adjustment for damping and ride height so you need to know what you want it to do! It is not as simple as bolt on and Bob's your uncle, which is good or bad depending upon your perspective! IMHO all good BTW.

PS If you're down my way and want to have a look at the bits before they go on then let me know.

Some of the delay was in getting the shocks but now Gaz build them for me and I try and keep a set or two in stock.

The lead time if I sell out is around 2-3 weeks depending on how quick GAZ are.

The setup is based on about 2 suspension revisions ago on the 520SE.
