Not much. You got a full set of coilovers(4)? Do you have any instructions/doc sheet?

erm wont you have probs with the rear coilovers? i thought it was a lot of work to do properly.

Was it deffo for the AE86?

Also, not to put another dampener but here in the UK Avo arent considered to be high quality dampers, they dont seem to last very long

Don´t worry about it...i need input, positive as well as negative Smile
Seems like the rear dameners fit perfectly, but i havent made a full installment, only had them in place on my friends totally seperated AE86. And they fit his, just fine.
See if i can take the time to do some photo´s when i´m back home.
BTW, didn´t pay a dime for them, so it can´t be that bad a deal....no matter what the quality Thumbs up!

avo always seemed like a pretty reputable brand to me and they do campaign their products in quite high level motorsport

i think if avo start making a coilover kit it would be pretty good cost effective suspension upgrade

but this is just my oppinion!

the question for me is are the front legs of a short stroke design alowing the car to be lowerd without losing suspension travel?

do they come with roll center adjusters so the car can be lowered without changing geometry?

is it actually a whole new front leg or some sort of sleeve?

adjustable damping?

are the rears just designed to fit in place of the original dampers?

sorry about all the questions its just i am quite interested in this product!

well done for getting it free! i would be most pleased if i were you
whatever their standard

Run Free and take a Goodline

Pics of the kit....I´m not sure if the fronts are AVO, could be a weld on solution.
Judge for yourselves....
