I have fitted the coilovers to Lauras 16V at long last.... (AVO's from group buy)

Im having a few problems........

1. If i wind them down any more the spring platform catches on the tyre... Ive been told avos go 100mm odd.......Spacers?

2. Think they are on the bump stops.... very bouncy... Can I remove them :P :shock: :wink: :?:

3. The camber is just silly... I never had camber problems on my williams coilovers and that was battying..... Anyone else have trouble with camber (think it's a valver thing) and wat camber bolts do people recomend?

Cheers

The coilovers don't need bump stops.
I didn't put any on mine as it said in the instructions that if bump stops where needed they would be provided.
After reading your post i emailed AVO to check this and they said:


many thanks for your e-mail
on the gtz coil-over kits there is no need for bump stops, this is because the travel has been reduced for the race type springs

i hope this is of help

Should help stop it bouncing. How low you got it?? I had mine wound right down when i first put them on:

The spring platform didn't catch on the wheel (did hit the arch when turned though!)
Wond them up to a more sensable hight now as the roads are rough as fook round here!
