Had Avo's on my 440. Quite stiff initially, but sagged quite a bit after a year (and only about 6000 miles). They also became very spongey, not very supportive on corners. Compared to what i've paid for my current ones (even if they were at the original price of £80/£90), i wouldn't go for them again.

Hmm.. so they get sagged pretty quickly. Bad choice.

Thanks for the feedback...

I was looking for some that would last longer and that would give to the car a 'sportier' behaviour. Have any clues?

H&R don't carry any for the 480, so my options are PI, Spax, Ventura, KYB, and so on, but i don't want some that will sag right away or that the behaviour is too comfy. Not my style :|

Well , look at Intrax, a Dutch company : - 40 cm and quality,
I had them and was pleased,nicely progressive, but with taurus rims and original tyresize (195/55/r15V) scrubbing on rear wheel arches with 4 normal weight persons.
They supply multiple fast cars originally like Donkervoort and racing cars.
You also have B&G, is German I believe, Daniel can tell you more about htis.

And at a German online tuning webshop I found Ventura springs.

40/40
60/40
60/60

I believe something like Schoenbach tuning.

V480TI, i was looking at Intrax's website and did not find any springs for the 440/60/80.

Where did you get yours from? Or if anyone knows where to find them that would be nice.

Cheers

Give Intrax a mail if you need springs.
They still do springs for our cheesewedge.
