I have SPAX RSX kit on mine, I got my kit for £400 so very good value for money!

The front is a coilover unit on the RSX, it allows adjustment between 40 to 80mm. To adjust ANY coilover unit you simply remove the wheel, take the C spanners that came with the kit and undo the bottom platform of the shock - its very easy. You then just turn the lower platform to lower/raise the height and once its right you just tighten the lockring against the spring platform - takes about 1 min per shocker but you must jack the corner up and remove the wheel:thumbs:

i am thinking of getting coilovers, but theres two things i want to know.
1) where do u adjust the height and how easy is it to do?
2) is it possible to get it from 30mm to about 60mm?

I'm running Avo Coilovers on my car, and the handling is firm, but certainly softer than the Koni's I ran before! FK coilovers are designed with road driving more in mind though, so will be softer.

avo. not trying to offend anyone but i am bitterly dissapointed with them. that said on a nice flat windy road the handling is awesome. it sticks. i say flat road coz on a bumpy road like most of them in NI anything above 60 is suicide coz there so hard. like skipping from bump to bump

does anyone else on here have avo coilovers? i have them ok at back from the coilover strut at front is suposed to offer an 80mm drop. mine is screwed to its lowest and its no lower than the 60 mm springs i had in it b4. the back is 60mm springs but seem to be lower than the 60mm springs. pissed off to the extreme. thinking of gettin avo adjustable shocks (not coilovers) and gettin springs made up specially. its just not low enough. in my opinion they rnt worth the money.
