AVS has been around for a while, and its an awesome added bonus for street driving. because of its rotation the dampening has to be smooth.

from our three setting, once you choose the setting and install the AVS module this setting will be your normal driving setting, basically you have three dampening choice for normal driving conditions. when you choose the sport + mode it will stiffen more as needed from your initial setting.

I don't see how you get three settings given the avs system moves back and forth during initializing. You can't preset at minimum because the avs can't move 110 degree counterclockwise. You can't preset to max because the avs can't move 110 degree clockwise.

You need to keep 110 degrees movement available at the lowest setting and 110 degrees available from the highest settings.

How would the dampening (ride) be, compared to stock? this will depend on spring rate and your choice of dampening, but in general stiffer. Of course the ride height is altered (lowered). My question is how would the ride difference be if lowered, normal setting to sport+, vice versa? your ride will not matter on height adjustment, Is it gonna be stiff, to super stiff? Or soft to super stiff, etc?the stock AVS doesnt have enough rotation to turn any dampening super soft to super stiff. just enough to give you that extra performance.

Our AVS compatible coilover offer three different dampening setting, lets say soft, med, hard. These don't have clicks like other coilovers as the AVS module need a smooth rotation. if its too stiff the motor will not turn the dampening pin. (this and maximizing the dampening with such small rotation was the most difficult during rnd)

the ride will also depend on the spring rate you choose to run, we offer 14/12, 12/10 and 10/8. for example if you use 10/8 with the softest dampening setting will be little stiffer than your stock ride. and get little stiffer as you change to med to hard on our dampening and changing the height of the coils will not matter with your ride.

The current AVS from the factory works like this, its has a rotation of about 110 degree (shown on the previous post) when you set it at sport+ mode doesn't mean your ride will be stiffer as soon as you change it, it stiffens the dampening as needed at highspeed, hard turns etc. and goes back to normal when its not needed. One of the reason you feel the difference when set to sport+ mode is that the AVS doesnt just change the dampening but steering etc with all combined gives you that little extra performance.

One of the reason we wanted to offer atleast three dampening choice is so that you will still have an option to choose your ride before you take on the benefit of the AVS.



I might have gone off topic lol sorry... but I hope I answered your questions.

Awesome , you answered my questions, great information to consider when I am ready. One more question, what spring rate combos is suited for a daily driver with comfort in mind (stock)? Little stiffer is ok. Thanks again for the help.
