Cheers guys, got qouted 550 fitted for AVOs with the rear coil-over struts instead of the non-adjustable ride height -60mm springs and adjustable shocks.
Seems like a good price, mechanic said the bodywork has to be slightly modded (big mallet) to fit the rears.

was gonna mate but heard some bad stories about them with 17s, hitting the adjuster collar. The fks are'nt coil-over rears either, just an adjustable platform on the rear axle. Plus i get a lifetime warranty if i let the garage fit the AVOs.

Sounds good, ure offset will probably push the wheel away from the strut a little so it misses the collar. How low can u go with out rubbing front and back??

I've got avo coilovers. 
I had the same problem with the tyres rubbing on the spring platform on the front, but thats with ET49 wheels, 5mm spacers sorted it.

Im hoping to go -60mm all round but if i need to use spacers then dont think ill get that low. What kind of arch work u gotta do to get -80 at the back- take out the arch liner??

Ive got et45 7x17 masitaly vt5s with 205/40s. If i dont get away with it then ill either sell the wheels and get 16" alessio 2s or beat the arch out a bit. What made u go for 7.5" wide wheels? What are they?
