That's every choice AVO offer. £25.78 for 9" 325lbs (exc. VAT I expect)

That sounds like a decent set there. Could be tempted by some of them!

All prices are per unit btw
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 27-01-2012
Ye that's cool! Definitely need some new ones!
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Atterz - 27-01-2012
Ive just got off the Phone to AVO UK and have a few things to report
- The standard Springs supplied with AVO GTZ's are 250lb.
- The front dampers should be able to cope with up to 550lb springs.
- The rear dampers should more than happily cope with 21mm TBs, although he was unsure with torsion bars so im not 100% sure on the limit there.
- They do sell progressive or linear tender springs if you are so inclined, however im going to contact eibach to learn more about this.
Hope this helps a bit. Put your findings up on here

Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 27-01-2012
Thanks for that! I will get the name of the company my mate has for springs and give them a call at somepoint!
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Jacko - 27-01-2012
If we can come to an agreement with a company, shall we see if they'd do us a discount?
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 27-01-2012
Im up for that! I definitely need some new ones! Are we all going to go for the same spring too?
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Atterz - 27-01-2012
Im not 100% with what springs im going for at the moment, im on exercise for 3 weeks at the end of the month so will be looking more after that. Im going to contact eibach to discuss a small lower poundage tender to work with the higher poundage main springs. Possibly even consider 350 - 400. We shall have to see

Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 27-01-2012
Ye I don't want them just yet, but fairly soon. Just put my foot down a bit round some corners and it rolls too much! Need it stiffer!
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Atterz - 27-01-2012
My intention, obviously having a thicker front ARB than yours is to pretty much disable the ARB and rely on the independent springs to help with grip and putting the power down on bumpy corners.
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 27-01-2012
Ye fair enough! Should handle well then!
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Atterz - 27-01-2012
To be honest yours should work perfectly as your ARB wont restrict you in any way, Rippthrough runs the standard 1.4 ARB and loves it.
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 27-01-2012
Boom. Ye apparently the 1.4 arb is better for handling? Going to invest in some polybush mounts too!

Ripp doesn't run a front ARB!
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 28-01-2012
Wow. How does it handle?
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Rippthrough - 28-01-2012
Like crap, it's rubbish, I get out-cornered by milkfloats*
*And then they have me on the straights too.

I can confirm all of the above it true
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 28-01-2012
Haha fair enough!
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Atterz - 28-01-2012
Haha didnt realise you removed it completely, as long as your not crashing into milkfloats like a lot of 6s are recently then thats ok!
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Jacko - 28-01-2012
Ripp - What poundage do you reckon we should go for? We need your wisdom

Connor everything's an innuendo with you!
Re: Avo Coilover front springs - Upgrades - Foxy-jim - 28-01-2012
I think we should request a ban for Connor ahha.
Ye any advice would be appreciated on whats best to go for!
