AVO coilovers - who in Australia sells them?

Postby Cal » Wed May 10, 2006 1:28 pm

The Qld rep has gone bush. Anyone know who the Aussie importer is or where else to get them? Been told twice by a guy up here he would get back to me with availability and he hasn't.

Cheers,

Cal.

www.avoturbo.com will either sell them direct or tell you who can sell them to you.

They are a completely different company to AVO out of the UK who sell shock absorbers.

PS I was hoping this would stay in general chat, as nobody is going to see it here.

Perhaps try emailing the UK and asking who their Aussie distributors are? IIRC they're very popular amongst the clubman style kit cars here as well so perhaps try someone like the QLD PRB agent:

1) I'm pretty sure Craig was right though, I do recall seeing AVO coilovers on the AVO Turbo website...

2) please put topics where they belong. General Chat is for post whoring. Suspension questions belong in the suspension forum.

Cal, have you asked Scott Darra? I thought TSR used to have something to do with AVOs. Even though Scott isn't there anymore, I think he would still know what is going on.

Thanks Ted. All a joke. I bought them direct from the UK and saved $400 and that was with $200 freight!

Yeah, some items are so much cheaper here (still in London). Demon Tweeks has a special this week, open face sparco for 64pounds!
