Firstly, to the S Club

I'm just about to get new AVOs & springs for my S1.5 and I will probably opt for a softer setting as I don't plan to track day it.

I'm sure if you search the S forum for AVO+Suspension+Settings etc you will unearth all sorts of info.

Set mine up at 320mm between centres for the ride height (only the odd nose bleed due to altitude). Then 6 clicks rear, 7 front - I 'm almost happy so must be within a click or so of 'optimum' for my driving style/roads condition.

thanks for replies, gonna try changing sides to see if still squeaks and groans. i will measure ride height too. springs are on full lenght at the moment

Has anyone who has fitted these recently got any part numbers for AVO's for the S and any prices?

This could be a solution for my ride height and grounding problems and a bit of a tidy up on the exhaust fitting would also help.

Thanks in advance......

Thanks Podie, I'll do that in a bit. Chris (Wildfire) also came to mind after me posting, I'm sure he mentioned he fitted Avo shocks recently. Sounds like a good possible solution for me and a bit of a re-work on the exhaust. Could possibly gain and inch or so.....steady on, I'm still talking ride height nothing that'll make the GF/Wifes eyes light up!

Austec supply and/or fit at notmuchmoney. The springs are a doddle once you've brought or borrowed some coilover spring clamps...

Phew, that's a relief!

Forgive my ignorance as I haven't looked into any prices until now.
