wanted to get a few opinions on which coilovers are best to invest into, in terms of quality and handling. im not to keen with the avo setup as the handling is ok and the build quality is fairly poor

[bristol_fez]

all i can say is i have driven my mates car and he has GAZ coilovers on that and it was

he has found them really good and i am just saving for a pair now

[leeroy]

I like the look of the Gaz but don't know much about them, plus the price seems pretty good too (£415) cos most of the others are quite pricey compared to AVO.

Interested in everyones opinions.

ive got a set of GAZ on my fiesta although i haven't driven it yet,but after looking at all the options I thought they were the best bet for the money,and had heard AVO were crap

[vx220]

i heard plenty of people say that AVO handled well, but a few complaints about build quality/failures

only heard good things about GAZ, so went with them.

was really pleased, to begin with. nowhere near as bad a ride as the "coil-over-critics" would have you believe!

then last week, i spent the day lowering it a bit more, then got it set up at ELITE in essex.

now it's sh#t-hot!!!

make sure you have the alignment done!!!

over the moon now!

Ive got H&R's. Build quality is spot on, and they have Bilstein gas inserts so you know theyre going to be good Same as above in terms of ride.

Pricey though

[PMK3]

good to hear some positive feedback from someone already using them ,can't wait to get my fiesta on the road

where can u buy them at that price??

Save yourself a whole load of hassle and excessive expense by going with the tried and tested Koni top adjustables and 25-30mm spring kit. Contrary to what half the people beleive on this site coilovers are not the bee all and end all of making a car handle. I don't even run coilovers on my track car

[White2i]

I have got H&R coilovers on mine and i love it great ride quality but the handling is second to none, car sticks to the road very very well, my fault PMK3 has bought coilovers for his car

[Oranoco]

Just wondering how many of the people that bleat about coilovers have actually had the cars cornerweighted? I strongly suspect the "handling" thing comes down to comparing shafted old kit to new.

Admittidly it's Cosworth talk but read Mike Rainbirds comments on road cars and coilovers on P151 column 3 of issue 252 of Fast Ford

but aren't these only height adjustable, i need both height and ride adjustable ones

[White2i]

yeah they are only height adjustable, but i had mine corner weighted and bought the correct springs to go in them to get the handling and ride set up spot on, cost a bit to get done but the difference is brilliant, at the end of the day depends what you characterists you are longing from the car to what you want to buy

[FRSJON]

ive got avo coilovers ......handles well, corners well but you have to look after the bloody things or they'll sieze in no time.....managed to brake off a top adjuster too!!!
