Well, not massive money for the spec you get, but I'm skint Big grin

One set is a 'standard' set of monotube coilovers but with remote canisters (although with seperate preload/ride height adjusters like the more expensive kit such as ohlins run).
The other set has the option of spring assisters like the rears can be made with, plus 'zoned' damping - which is softer around the ride height and then stiffens up elsewhere, to make it possible to have stiffer damping but still be comfortable.

However, it's a bit harder to make, and needs even more machine work, so might just end up with the 'standard' kit.

That sounds interesting, I was going to ask if you could run the 'tender springs' like Russian guy runs on his B.A.D coilovers. Those uprated versions sound like a fancy version of that principal, yes?

Nah, bit different, you can run tenders on the Foxes anyway, they come with the hardware to fit them, plus an extra set of 'stop' rings that let you fine tune where the main springs come in.

About £500 IIRC, I'll have to reprice as the exchange rate hammers it with them being made in the US.

Is there any progress with these? And a revised spec list as the forum deleted everything including prices, having gone up to the peaks on thursday i now want this "magic carpet" feeling you speak of, good handling with a lot more compliancy! This budget AVOs dont cut the mustard.

Is that fronts or rears Phil? Fronts I'm interested in, rears can wait depending on your other developments Smile

Rears, fronts are delayed 'till I have enough pennies spare, probably be after I finish the work on the rear beams.
