i had a set of avo coilovers a few years back. one year later both front springs were broken and the shocks fucked and one rear damper had went.
u can rebuilt them u have to buy a new unit.
altho not avos fault i had bought them from pvd, when one shock fucked i contacted pete who told me to sent them the shock and the receipt for a warranty claim. so i did this got my new shock. few months later the front went took them out and found the 2 broken springs. contacted pvd. they said i needed the receipt and i said that they still had the receipt from the last time. me and pete found about it until i aired my greivance on here and he contacted me saying that if i had my bank statement when i had paid that would do as receipt. i got the statement but as u know pvd used to remove the money from ur account when u ordered and then make u wait 6 months on delivery, that plus the time on the car plus the fighting with pete over the warranty meant i had missed the 2 year warranty by a matter of days and he basically told me to piss off.
shocks had only been on about a year, admitadly (sp)on a smooth road they were amazin, transformed my corsa, but were crashy and very uncomfortable after a few months
