Leighanne needs to get some adjustable (damping only) rear dampers.

She wont need anything fancy for now, as long as they car take a bit of punishment.

They will be matched to some J&R front coilovers with helper springs.

Any suggestions? Can run standard shocks, I know, but they are not ideal.

Will be lowered a bit obviously.

i had avos on my old williams and first valver, spot on although the adjusters can seize so make sure they are maintained well :wink:

I did think Koni's may be an option. Anyone tried Apex rears?

I had full Apex suspension - 60mm. I found them weak. I have Gaz Gold shocks now . When i first got them and drove them around , i also found them a bit weak. Then re'valve them to the hardest valves , got new springs 400lbs ( 250 original ) , the car is fine now :)

P.S. I am a track racing driver :)

on my hunt for suspension there is very little for the williams which is why i think im going to opt for the AVO's as they do a roadsport kit which looks perfect!

these are the rear ones..
