alrighty Sarge. A bit of clarification for you; stiff is the wrong way to think about it. Firm is a better description. The spring rates can be whatever they want because the damper will be damped accordingly. @CSG Mike has said multiple times that stiff =/= uncomfortable. Pretty sure he said he had an s2k with 10k and 12k rates that rode like a lexus but cornered like a porsche.

The best part about AST is that since most of it is custom (like with JRZ & MCS) you get the "ideal" setup for what you want, in your car. Dont forget Penske as well, they get expensive really quick but alot of their systems can be put together off the shelf and hit the target "feel" very well.

Now how much custom work you want inside of the shock (like piston options) will vary depending on brand. JRZ and MCS im pretty sure have a bit more of a selection when it comes to this, at a cost though.

If you can go for it, do as many adjustments as you can. if you dont know what your knob does, ask someone who does to turn the knob for you. (kinda gets around the whole too many adjustments for my knowledge dilema).
