cheers guys and gals

I'm Using KYB Gas Non-Adjustable Suspension Units, They're Great For Non Adjustables.
But I Would Say Between Avo And Spax, They've Pretty Much Got It Sorted

Ive got some Koni supersport adjustables, they damp on the way up aswell as down.

any one running AVO dampers? i want to upgrade a bit from my GAZ dampers and these seem to be the next one up!

[fikus01]

upgrade from gaz adjustables?? i didnt know there was much difference between spax, gaz and avo to be honest!

[blacktulip]

i had avo's on my old mini and were brilliant. although my standard kyaba-gas-adjusts are just as good IMO.

[Bluemini]

If I was on a budget then Gaz are the ones for me, but to upgrade from them then I would go with Avo's every time.

I've had Spax Adjustable Dampers fitted all round for the past decade and they've been superb. I just set them up using a screw driver on the little screws and have them running at around 4 clicks up front and about 8 at the rear and the ride is nice and firm without being uncomfortable, but my Mini still handles well and the body doesn't roll on corners.
