leda do really good coilovers but there not cheep
if you only want the rears to be adjustable then get some 2nd hand fk hightsports and then buy some koni adjustable rear dampers or something

the ride is hard with AVO... but that doest make them good. It all depends what you use them for... road, yes fine.

AVO are shite for track..... no decent rebound at all... too crashy, and soft under weight (could be spring poundage though)

why not just cut your springs then?

If all you are after is looks, why waste the cash?
