Trying to turn the rant into a positive 
Does anyone know,
a) can dampers be re-valved
b) who'll do it
c) can you do it at home
d) how
e) who's dampers are easiest to revalve
f) who's are closest to the sort of settings we'd like?
I've got rebuilt avo dampers originally sourced from westfield for a westfield live axle with the intention to run 220lbs at the front and
175's at the rear as a starting point.

I bought some new dampers direct from Avo a while ago. When I ordered them I told them what the car was, the axle weight and the springs I was going
to use, and they were happy to valve them accordingly. Their price was roughly the same as any other Avo supplier.
I believe that procomp will happily do the same.
I'd like to know whether Avo shocks supplied through the normal distributors can be re-valved, as I'd like to get my front ones done. (I
suppose I could ask Avo...)

Just to throw a spanner in the works Pat, can you really remember how your Avon handled enough to do a direct comparison between IRS and live
axle?? It must be a good few years since you last drove it. Bear in mind that they are completely different vehicles with very different engines.
I'm not saying there isn't a difference between the two, cos I've never driven a live axle seven, it's just that I don't
think I could compare the handling between two very different cars after an interval of two weeks, let alone two years.

I hear you Phil - but this car is just so much nicer to drive.
Not just me that's said it, but a few of my passengers as well.
Will take you for a blast when we end up on the same track day.
I was very pleasantly suprised.
