Don't make fun of him, it's hard to read posts on CS - he's used to loads of animated banners in the signatures.

i heard AVO were a bit of a harsh ride.... thing with FK is, i've learnt its a bit like marmite some people swear by them others don't - i bought a kit by them and i had no problems and its perfect for me so im all the way.

FK are shocking.

I have AVO Coilovers all round and i have to say it MAKES the car handle like a dream even if the suspension is a bit knocky.

Set of Koni Yellow Adjustables, £155
Set of Eibach Springs, £150

Best set up really, Coilovers aren't really necessary on a road car.

Coilovers are great, good handling and not as harsh as spring/shocks.
