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

[Foxy-jim]

Ye that's cool! Definitely need some new ones!

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 .

[Foxy-jim]

Thanks for that! I will get the name of the company my mate has for springs and give them a call at somepoint!

[Jacko]

If we can come to an agreement with a company, shall we see if they'd do us a discount?

[Foxy-jim]

Im up for that! I definitely need some new ones! Are we all going to go for the same spring too?

[Atterz]

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 .

[Foxy-jim]

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!

[Atterz]

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.

[Foxy-jim]

Ye fair enough! Should handle well then!

[Atterz]

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.

[Foxy-jim]

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!

[Foxy-jim]

Wow. How does it handle?

[Rippthrough]

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

[Foxy-jim]

Haha fair enough!

[Atterz]

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!

Ripp - What poundage do you reckon we should go for? We need your wisdom

[Foxy-jim]
