In a complete headrush Ive just had my 500mile old AVO adjustables changed for Intraxs ready for the Cerburgring trip and Paul at Austec is charged with disposing of my AVOs. Give Paul a call and see if they fit your car (mine's a 98 4.5)

A fellow PHer is sniffing around too, so hurry hurry hurry

I'd be interested in how you get on with the Intrax as I'm getting them fitted too thumbup, I've had Nitron before on the V8S and they were superb, hoping these are a little better.

Harry, Paul told me to wait for the Intraxs, but being the idiot I am, I ordered the AVOs anyway (and car has sat in the garage most of the winter hence only having done 500 miles since October) but Paul really rates these suspenders and I convinced myself I need them to keep up with Boss Cerb and Guillotine round the Ring (oh, and 400% more skill and a barrel full of brave pills). I also hope they are as good as he says.

Paul's daughter must have needed a new school uniform as Ive aquired new brake bads and skimmed disks while its in hehe

Hugepiece, just about to reply to your pm

Hi Mike. Yup, that website link isnt much help is it! Short answer is I have no idea what model. I'll phone Paul and ask him to confirm. I think, but may be mistaken (wouldnt be the first time ) Austec are the UK dealers for Intrax so may be as well for you to call Paul direct?

Read about your probs with the Freelander 2. A little dissapointing

Let you know when I know on the Intrax dude

Cheers Nick.

Yep Freelander still at the garage. Have a feeling they have blown the electrics as they are now waiting for some circuits or other.

From memory the intrax have some means of adjustment for compression and rebound damping, plus the damping is temperature stable (damping rate is constant regardless of the oil temp in the damper through clever valving). I'd certainly have thought about them, but they were not available when I needed to upgrade (standard stuff shot).

Steve.

brummiewedge has got new gaz shocks on the front already. I think he is going the whole nine yards on this project. Good luck!

Ordered a new set of Pro Tech shocks Bump/Reb adjustables, look well made and all alloy anodised, sensible money. The new Gaz shocks that are on the front can stay.

My missus related to it like this....

She reckons your Cerb' looks like Mr Incredibles car http://www4.toysrus.com/images/SuperS
