Cool, AST coilovers have gotta be one of the best sets.
They are also fully rebuildable if required (much like a Bilstein)

Ast's fitted last week by Brent....still playing with the nice gold nobs on top of the struts for comfort but is an improvement so far.


looking forward to winding them up a bit for track work as well. only dropped about 10-15mm as I have to drive over speed humps.


got some new pagid black brake pads on the way as the yellows that came with the brakes are really, the compound has broken away in some places so this is urgent!
and got a bit of carbon to fit at some point too

Very tidy looking!

Your ride height on the AST's looks very similar to mine. I've got mine set at 6 notches (from soft) on the front and 4 on the rear. That was the setting recommended to me from Carl at AST and, after playing round, I found that was pretty good for day-to-day use. Never tracked mine though, so I guess you'd need to wind that number up when on track!

i'd personally have the ends colour coded, leaving the centre in carbon.

how have you mounted it, just with tiger seal or equivalent? looks good tho!

There was a post on Surrey a while back where one had come off just using seal

Looks ace though, Ive allways wanted one of those.

If you can attach a carbon fibre panel between the two flat surfaces of the spoilers, you will nearly have a wagon..............

I bet you can't wait now mate.

A good running in trip is down to the Services just outside dover (Shell) where we meet up for the Ferry, on the M20 and then coming home on the A Roads via Hastings. It rack the miles up and gives you loads of different scenarios, gear changes and rev ranges.

It was the last bit of the running in process for me, I had 400+ miles on the clock before setting out.

I did it at night too, with an empty motorway so you could speed up, slow down, start to put a teeny bit of boost through it and raise the rev range just a smidge. By that, I mean going up to 5000 3 or 4 times instead of holding it at 4000 all the way.

There are so many theories on what you should or shouldn't do. Some say that keeping it too low glazes the bores. Some say you should get a bit of boost through it.

I will never forget getting mine up to SRR for Simon to start the process, after pretty much nursing it through the run in. He then gets it on the rollers and canes the back out of it And just looks over with a knowing grin and says "don't worry..... it'll be fine"
