whats the beat type of suspension transplant or upgrades

[JoKer]

rebuilt / custom Bilstiens? from Suspension Tech Auckland

a few on here have used them I beleive : still rolling stockers all round on my cars

Highly reccomend Chris Alexander at Suspension tech, made custom progressive valved bilsteins for mine and lowered it 60mm as well as a complete fit out of nolathane bushes. Never had the fear of it losing grip and takes corners very well. Www.stech.co.nz

I have custom adjustable Koni's in my Avenger.

[george braithwaite]

do you know of any applications from other cars that will fit in with minor modification.

[JoKer]

Rear shocks are the same as Bedford vans? Things like that?

new shocks are not hard to get (apparently)

[JoKer]

And now for the really good stuff...

Front coil-overs, with new lotus discs and callipers. Pads are EBC Yellow Stuff.

All fitted to the car and she now looks and sits sweet. I will post pictures of the car in the next day or two.

Reviving a bit of a dead thread but I thought I might add some info. I found out that off the shelf ae86 Toyota Corolla rear lowering springs fit perfectly in the front of an avenger and are a bit stiffer but retain the stock ride height. Well they did for me but my engine is much lighter so they might be like a 20mm lowering springs with the standard engine. I also never got the chance to try it but according to my measurements it looks like the front shock cartridges from a corolla could be made to fit to and are a similar length to avenger ones.

I'm using some cut down BMW 318i super lows in my V8 wagon, the spring is a little too wide diameter but they fit in okay.
