Ok so I've looked around and found both GAZ and AVO shocks which will suit my car. I now have part numbers for AVO, GAZ, Spax and Koni. Now to choose. I'm likeing what has been said about the AVOs. They sound pretty good. Their site says they are £50ea+vat, so now my question, is how much is the vat?
Cheers

vat here is 17.5%. so they'll work out under £60 each.

As an overseas buyer, can't you claim the VAT back?

Under £60, that's pretty good, seeing the Konis I was looking at were £67 each. Still not sure as to whether I should go with the AVOs or the GAZs, argh! Decisions!!
Does anyone know if the AVOs are billet aluminium or rebuildable like the GAZs?

I looked at Leda, Koni, Spax, Gaz and Avo for the Monza.......
leda could make a custom set (coilovers adjustable dampers the works for £1000) Bit out of my budget
Koni wouldn't help as not listed any more
Spax said not stocked but order to manufacture 10 days
Avo needed a set of old shockers to check build records and dimensions but 4 weeks order to manufacture
Gaz said they could make same as Avo but would ne old set to match
I know a lot of guys who do F2 stock car racing and all said Gaz were rubbish and don't last - Avo or Spax best choice
Spax won - less hassle and not a lot of difference in money between them and Avo or Gaz and I didn' need to send my old shocks to them - difference in cash was £75 from memory
Spax will rebuild shocks as well
