Re: where can i get lowering kit

You really do get what you pay for. I purchased Avo items from Brickwerks and although 70mm lower are a lot better than expected so I'm very satisfied. The cheaper items on ebay will probably give you a crappy ride. I read up on suspension upgrades for a long time before making the decision to use A...

Re: AVO Lowering Springs, any good ?

I've got avo -50 springs, avo shocks and I'm running 17 inch alloys with low profile continental tyres. The ride is fine. Really good bit of kit. Tim I've stayed at that place, there's some great riding around that way. Did you do the whites trail? Andy Hi Andy We did the Wall on day one and the Wa...

Very true. I'm a sucker for an arch-filled stance and I seem to do it to all my rides (Mini, Suzuki SJ & Bus).

Re: AVO Lowering Springs, any good ?

just a quick q why did you put 20mm spacers on a wheel with the correct et of 35? you have now made it et 15 Hi Jason. Two reasons really.

Re: AVO Lowering Springs, any good ?

I fitted AVO 70's to my Tin Top earlier this year and I'm still running the standard BOGE shocks with 2 ribs removed from the bump stops. I am running 7x17 MAM alloys with an 35 ET offset, longer studs + stud conversion and 20mm hubcentric spacers. There have been no issues so far, even with 5 of us...
