yeah, but the avo ones have a complete rear set up all in one, so the rear springs are part of the shocker assembly and not seperate part on the beam by them selves like they look like

dont forget its got a standard exhaust on it, mine with a bfo exhaust is a tad loud.....to make it lighter buckets, dash then start on the body kit, wheels, boot etc............ remove all the seat mounting points

cant think of many ways to make it lighter. obvious buckets, maybe chop the dashboard, fiber glass bootlid and bonet. thats boot it that i can think of. isnt even that noisey when driving considering theres nowt in it

muppet sport, i fitted those, nothing has been changed but if you wish to raise it then you will need to hit the inner arch a bit to give it some clearance for the spring to move better

mine fitted on without anything needing done, the most u need to do is hit the inner arch with a big hammer so it doesn't catch.
like i said tho mine need sweet fa.

i was just about to buy a set of avo coilovers for my corsa b when my mate said i would need to make modifications so i can put the rear coilovers on coz they wont fit coz the arch is to small! is this true or is it bs? if it is does any 1 know wot needs to be done?:boggle:
the reason i went for avo was coz the rear was also height ajustable azwell az adjustable damping rate, is there any other coilovers which has height and damping rate adjustable for the rear? :o
