Herd they just released the AST-4000 series for the Evo X! This is great news for us X guys/gals who are looking for a solid setup for under 2k!

Will be ordering a set of these soon. I have settled on these as AST is a great company and have herd nothing but great things about them and there setups.

 

Yes they have! I'm really glad....been bugging them for a long time. This is a great new option under $2k that does NOT suck that I'm really happy to offer!

Swift coilover main springs in any rate you want for $1899.....awesome set-up for the price. Tons of travel, great build quality, great valving, and great tech support!

Hey Andrew what would it run me with a set of good camber plates as well as rear pillow ball mounts?

 

yes they are stunningly looking good suspension.
They are remind me a lot to the Reiger rally suspensions, so thats good already

The customer support is awesome.

I will have more comment coming from me as soon as we run them .

PMing you....

These are what Andrew is recommending for me after speaking with him for over an hour last week. I don't know what spring rates I am going to go with but I do know I am going to get the GTWorx camber plates with them. I can't wait for them to come in.

(Edit - I am referring to the AST 4100's.)

 

i know that the 5 series is upgradeable but is the 4 series as well? and how close to the 5 can you get them, obviously one is inverted and the other isnt but can they be otherwise identical after upgrades or are there other differences as well?

 

Thoughts on a 600F / 700R spring rate?

 

You must be dyslexic or something, they are listed as AST at that link!



Also make sure you are looking at the Evo X coilovers if you do indeed own an Evo X, your link was to the Evo 8/9 series.

That's about as stiff as I would ever go on the street at 10.7k / 12.5k spring rates. The stiffest ones are pretty much track only unless you are a martyr.

 

ya, I'm on 12/14 and that's not a good street ride. For street tires, the stiffest I'd go (with a set of good sways) is 10/12.

 

Andrew recommended the AST 4100s for me as well. Looking forward to picking up a set.

 

Im probably going to go with 9/10 spring rate. Good for the 3-4 times a year track guy, who DD's there car as well. Looking @ the 4100's has solidified my decision on what is the best bang for buck coilover for the X.

Thanks Andrew.

 

No problem guys. Myles (the shop owner) has run KW V3 back to back with AST 4100 on his 09 WRX and can compare the two. Feel free to call in for some feedback from a slightly different car. He's got more suspension experience than me and is really good at explaining things over the phone (and who i learned a ton from).

He's now on JRZ....if you ask about those get ready to hear all sorts of weird analogies that probably go a little too far.

AST 4100 were mentioned to me too by Andrew.

Mini group buy?

HR2L: This is Mike (Fa-Q).

 

We'd love to be able to do that....BUT the $1899 is already around 600-700 bucks less than they were selling for other cars before, AND they use Swift springs now, AND there's only a handful to go around at the moment. As it is though, I think that price is pretty firm.
