:lol: Rock hard's an understatement! if you put them at maximum hardness it's like someone's replaced the shocks with scaffolding! :aaah:

been thinking about having the front springs upgraded
as sometimes the front feels a bit bouncy with the zetec lump

Had Avo springs on my Focus for 2 years, no problems at all.

Good for the price i'd say. :)

Sort of happened by accident, I wanted Konis on all four corners but Koni dont do a kit for the 3.5 so DT's sent me a mk3 set I didnt realise until the fronts came loose, they couldnt change them so they supplied me some AVO fronts for a nice discounted price, found avo's build quality very good IMO :)

I've got a set of coilovers which I picked up off a broken Fez, but I'm sending them to AVO for a service before they go on the car. Problem is, the previous owner hack the ARB tabs off so his huge wheels would fit!

My mates going to have to fabricate some, TIG them on, and then they WILL need to be serviced. (All the oil seals will probably be cooked by then)
