smighall 1 Posted December 15, 2006 (edited) I've just picked up a 309 beam from doughboy (cheers mate ) which has brand spanking avo adjustable rears on it. I also have the billy sprintline rears that i bought a while ago. Question is which ones are better? BTW i'm using billy sprintlines on the front. This is a pure track car BTW.

taylorspug 7 Posted December 15, 2006 The AVOs i had were complete toss and lasted about 4 months, so id say go for the Sprintlines, they are a good all round shock, and you really wont want anything too hard on the back for road use. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The car probably won't be seeing the road (it isn't road legal at the moment and i'm not sure if i'm going to make it legal either). So would you still say the billys even though it will only ever see the track? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
taylorspug 7 Posted December 15, 2006 Aside from the crap build quality they may be a better bet for the track given their adjustability. Best idea is to give them a try once you have the car running. Give the Avos a good couple of sessions on a track day trying a few settings, then swap over to the Billies and compare, its only four bolts in the end. Its up to what you and your driving style prefer. Id probably run the Avos on full stiff if i was using the car for track only, as i like everything on the front end, but thats just me! Bear in mind a set of crap adjustable shocks will be far worse than good quality single rate shocks, as anyone who has tried Group N Bilstein rears will testify!

welshpug 1,627 Posted December 15, 2006 another vote for billies, Tarmac spec £200 notes though Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miles 331 1 Cars Posted December 15, 2006 Billes everyday for me too, Not sure where you get the £200.00 they are cheaper than that, The price on Special tuning etc is more than the RRP. The Billies and rebound and bump, compared to the avo's Rebound unless you have some of the rarer ones which have both Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
