I just cant help , to like the AST better with my previos experience. Also since it easier to set up for rookies , has less room to ruin the ride ...
And we know that is happens , when someone just start to dial coilovers in a way he thinks the ride will be faster... LOL
^^ thats true...that is what im worrying about...haha

my recommendation , get the AST and before that weight your car on scale. Track stops or some wheel alignment shop will do it. Dont think its waste of money.
Then tell either guy which is your idea about your car example "80% dd - 20% mix track use. /autoX and circuit like TA/ and your car weight - the tire size and compound you most likely will run.
From there they should have a pretty good picture what you are looking for, so they can customize your coilovers.
You think its a hassle, but the good coil over set up is a KEY in the evo. Other wise you just waste your money.

Also you should ask them how and how much they think you should soften /for winter/ or harden the coilovers when you go on track. And write down they idea. So from there you cant go wrong. Also ask them they set up as you got the coilovers, how you can get it back, if you lost in the set ups already./meaning you turn it every option already LOL /
All these in writing!!!! Dont forget the 3 way coilovers are the best in the best hands , other wise its a worst! More simple is the better in armature hands or racing. Dont think armature is a down grade also! For an amateur and weekend warrior the simple one way coilover is perfect , if its set it up good for a specific car with a right alignment. 2-3 way coilovers on that level nothing but trouble or a simple show case.

Actually for me is pretty wild that fact, they are an EU based company , and they lacking the TUV certificate.
