Discussion
AVO were one of the shocks about 10-12 years ago which were available as a suspension upgrade from one or two TVR Specialists..... they seem to have dropped of the cliff and disappeared in the TVR world.
Many heated discussions threads back in the day about suspension when it was a black mystical art, and various specialists competing for their market share.
Not really much help I know

As I'm doing a complete nut 'n' bolt resto,(think £6-8k+..!!) I think I'm going to go for Gaz Gold Pro's... £450 cheaper than Nitro's...My first choice!Many heated discussions threads back in the day about suspension when it was a black mystical art, and various specialists competing for their market share.

Saving £450 on suspension after a £6=8k resto seems to me like a false economy, summat about spoiling the ship for a ha'porth of tar! I spent ££££££ on Ohlins which, at the time, seemed extravagant, but 2 years on I'm over the pain and it seems like a good investment.Manic
The main problem I have is there are quite a few threads that seem to accept the Nitron's require regular rebuilds every couple of years if you are not doing regular track work can you justify the extra cost I have Gaz gold pro on the Tuscan work well on the road suggest you also consider Protech have these on the Griff massive improvement over standard setup. As Glynmo said if you want the best then its Ohlins

Plus, I can always change the dampers later, when im not replacing the leather interior, AND having the chassis blasted and hot flame sprayed...if I feel that they're not up to scratch

All I say is get the dampers hat suit what you want to use your for car... if racing, then different to track day, then different to road and all in between requirements are different as well,,,,,,,, don't fall for this is best threads on here, as it might not be for what you want....
A good salesman will listen to what you want and advise accordingly...... good luck as they all seem to want to upsell
All I say its a personal choice to suit your requirements, so may try to emulate race cars which may not be what you want and/or budget stretches to... no keeping up with the Joneses just what is right for you

I drove the car from Newcastle, all the way to South Wales; and I absolutely L-O-V-E-D it.!!
I'm looking to restore AND improve it. The dampers/springs look like the original Koni items, under all the underseal...Everywhere!
Fast road, maybe the odd track day...
