Searched but no real info came up, anyone running one of the AST set ups for our car? They seem to have good reviews and are generally well regarded. I believe they also have a US service center.

 

Nope, but they will good

 

Their site lists a 4100 model for the 350Z, but their product list PDF does not. Interesting.

 

FYI I emailed AST, they are able to make the 4100 series for $2200 retail (w/o springs and spherical top mounts). The 4100 series is a monotube shock with single (rebound) adjustability. I'm not sure what actual out the door price is since it seems like they make it to order, so $2200 might be it.

 

SPL makes the top mounts , they are not listed on their site but they make them for the shocks they sell.

 

Good to know. Assuming $2200 is what the price is for the consumer, this doesn't seem like as a good deal in comparison to, say, KW clubsports (separate compression and rebound adjustable), which can be had for $2500 (with springs and top mounts included in the price) if you shop around from the forum's vendors.

 

Club sports are $3k andi believe they do not come with. Top mounts.

 

I believed they were that high until I pmed some forum sponsors and they started quoting signficanty lower prices!

 

The price went up about 6 months ago on KW, but you may be able to get a smoking deal from someone. I don't think the AST coilovers will one with springs either, that's another $300 , what one is actually better KW vs AST is a toss up

 

This is in one of the track threads,

There's also a guy in Texas that puts them on everything his shop builds, LS1 BMWs etc.

They bought Moton too, I don't think the tech has hit the AST side yet though.

 

Vorschlag, I'm assuming?

I just bought AST 4200s from them & will be installing them Saturday.

 

I can't speak on AST, but since there is talk of the KW Clubsport in here I thought I'd say that tirerack has them for $2570 after rebates right now.

 

Any recent AST owners or past owners with long-term use?
