Hello,

 

Current swapping out one suspension to coilovers, I seen the Spax Adjustable Coil Over Conversion Kit - LOWERED (RSX520) however I already have a set of Avo Coilovers, I cannot for the life of me find the lower mounting brackets being sold seperately. Ideally I'd be looking for a top and bottom mount kit, Do such items exist?

 

Thanks,

Ben

We used this but just a word of warning - if this is for a road car, reconsider before spending the money. It's only one persons experience but I've just bought the parts to go back to cones (from coil-overs), they are not an upgrade for road cars.

Okay Thanks guys, Are there any high quality reputable companies that produce brackets? I'll give Avo a ring tomorrow.

nope. but people will make them for you. i had to buy a set just to get the lowers. but i will be going back to my earlier fabricated ones as they are a little "lite".
