I had been reading and quite a few people on the forums said they didn't see the gains justifying the cost. These ASTs are right where I was hoping to be. Quick question though, where did you find the info on needing to rebuild the shocks? Is that bc people with this suspension are usually tracking them or do they truly need to be rebuilt that often?



Fantastic! I'll be sure to save you if we come up with any q's. Any recommendations when ordering? Items to pair it with, sway bars etc? I was looking at Stillen bc as mentioned below they talked about that "softer" sway. Also 6-8 weeks aint bad! Shoot anything over seas and I automatically think it'll be JDM all over again which 2 months is the minimum! LOL.



Thanks for the great detail! Repped. The min drop is also huge for me. I hate the gap in the fender well but REALLY hate if I'm scrapping everywhere I go. I'm really leaning towards these shocks over Moton but it sounds like you really can't go wrong either way. I think the KW and BCs are in a whole different category from these. At least when I was researching I found some info that mentioned the KW and BC are good for group events, street, and slight track, but these you are truly upgrading the suspension with an entry level track racing setup. At least that's the info I've found so far.
Yea the BC DR sound like a great option and the concept of raising/lowering the whole strut keeping the stroke length the same is a really cool concept and I would be very tempted to try them, especially at their price point. However after already scraping some areas at Oem height I just can't see myself enjoying daily driving at 1.5 drop. The AST "street" option 4100 series sounds very nice for my use, same oem front rate so no worry of harshness, actually a softer rear rate so maybe even smoother and then a double digressive option (comp and rebound not just comp). This is how my off-road bikes are setup and it's great because you can have a more firm chassis stability through firmer low speeds but then open up on a bigger hit and rebound faster from a bigger hit so the suspension doesn pack up. Sounds like a really good system for uneven road conditions etc. a review below.
