Right, I'm about to swap my suspension for a set of AVO coilovers.

I don't really want the coilover to end up as an "interior accessory" so what should I strengthen? The turrets and beam mounting points?

And, how should I go about doing so?

cheers

i think the avo's have the spring and damber as one on the rear (simular to mcphearson strut). seam weld the rear turrets and fit a strut brace

their fairly strong to start with.

bit of seam welding would be more than enough.

BTW, is that Nova still available?

Ah, the Nova ones weren't particually strong - so I assumed the same on the Corsa.


you know Robin, I was just about to reply to your (numerous) pm's
Yes it is, but there's a lot of interest
