Hi Hampton,

 

I also installed AVO shocks and springs on my 3 Litre Volvo. I concur with
Don regarding performance and springs. If you order springs, make it VERY
CLEAR that they have to be 12" long. They substituted different length (9"
and 10") springs when I ordered mine and they were insistent that they were
the correct ones. I eventually got them to send 12" ones but the project was
delayed a few week while I sorted it out.

 

Regards,

 

Paul Dransfield

Hampton,

I put AVO shocks on mine a few years back.  They've been great.  They 
are adjustable for both ride height and damping.  Get new springs 
while you're at it.  It's worth the money!!

There has been much discussion regarding shocks on the Marcos 
Enthusiasts Message board:

Do a search.  Some don't like the AVOs and others like Koni, etc.

Come to think of it, do a search on this board for shocks also!
