I might well have lost track of the mods you were doing, what exactly have you done? The is it the front or backend you have had the AVO's fitted (the backend of the 4 seaters can be a pain to get sorted out properly) and what spec of damper?


Yes John, just AVO's (from Sifab) on the front end, the rear dampers are Bilsteins and in good nick. I also fitted brake reaction bars which have made a significant contribution in sorting out the front end, I really rate these as a modification and wish I had been decisive on these right from the start. I was never unhappy with the trad setup and would not be tempted into SSL kit but these two mods have really sorted the front end, tightened up the steering, the car is much more stable over rough surfaces, bottoming out much reduced, smoother ride - the list can go on, and, as you can sense, I'm pretty happy with it.

I went out again today on some errands and felt the same way, I'm moving on to sorting the running board tread rubbers and then maybe on to consider a change of manifold and remap if all the stars align
