AVO shocks

#1 Post by RichardHyde »

Morning all,

I bought a set of height / rate adjustable AVO shocks years ago from Jigsaw, but I think they’re now out of business.

Does anybody know where these are available from now ?

What is appealing to me with AVOs is that they support 2.25 inch and 2.5 inch diameter springs giving a lot more options for spring length and rate. As the CA18DET is much lighter than the Sprint engine, I’ll need to consider different spec springs.

Does anybody know the standard spring’s length and rate ?

Thanks, Richard
