has any one used any of the ATS 5x00 series of coil overs either the 5100, 5200 or 5300? i cant find any information on them I'm looking for some personal opinions on them

 

AST

Knowing the right combination might help you search better.

They are high end stuff and there are a few people using them (especially here locally).

 

well I am looking to buy the 5100 with 400,500 springs but as they are modular i am just looking for basic experiences with them at all levels so that i have an idea of what i am getting into

 

and are they AST or ATS I found them at vivid they are listed as ATS: http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/a...7-p-66098.html

 

They are quite good. We have experience with their full line and have recently compared them back to back with other coilovers including KW and JRZ on the same car (the shop 09 WRX in this case). We also have experience with them on EVOs at a variety of levels.

Feel free to give us a call or PM for any questions you may have. And yeah, it's AST.

What were your findings compared to JRZ?

 

Give us a call and talk to me or Myles...we can walk you through everything you need to know.

It's harder to do from here.

 

Thanks for serving our country.

JRZs are softer than the ASTs traditionally, so they would be more comfortable for street driving yet give up NOTHING on the track once you dial them up.

 

Good point.

Can you PM me your APO mailing address? I'll send you some stuff.

Short story is we like the JRZ's better.

Thanks.

PM'd. Guess I'm just trying to decide that it's not just because you are neighbors.

 

Read this on a Porsche site.

"The owner of Moton is called Jerome and he is the J in JRZ, one of the founders, who then left and started Moton."

But JRZ USA says this.

"2003 - JRZ merges with ProTrac and machine factory VOVU.

2000 - JRZ is joined by Erik Ras at the conclusion of completing a graduate project at JRZ.

1998 - Jan Zuijdijk, along with fellow colleagues, Rob de Rijk and Jeroen van Gool found JRZ Suspension Engineering.

1995 - Jan Zuijdijk assumes control over JRZ. Rob de Rijk steps down from JRZ, and begins ProTrac in conjunction with VOVU.

1987 - Jan Zuijdijk, the grandfather of modern damper technology, works for Koni."

 

as soon as we try them i will post up some review.
They should be here in this week.
But i will run the Rally version of these.
