I was surprised I didn't see this here already.

Neat :-)
I had AST dampers (12 notch adjustable) on my FD2 and thought they were great. They was developed alongside a well respected importer/tuner, so if they take the same care with the BRZ/GT86/FRS that could be a really good piece of kit!

Huzzah! I've heard great things about AST; I have a friend who runs them in a lot of high-end Euro stuff.

nice find

Dave-ROR · 04-13-2012, 06:46 PM

Nice.

I'm pretty sure this is a repost. I think I've seen these before in the post where they we're measuring a Subaru for the first time.

I'll see if I can dig it up.

EDIT: I know I've seen these before on here but I can't find the stupid thread again. In the end, it doesn't matter because this looks to be quality stuff.

Agreed, I've seen that pic before. I also remember people trying to figure out the measurements.

OrbitalEllipses · 04-13-2012, 09:39 PM

Definitely seen that before. Haven't seen this though: http://www.vorshlag.com/forums/showthread.php?t=8012

I believe it's older, but it at least has information on the model of shocks these will be.

More then a year, still nothing to market?

I'm not sure what AST is going through, but Vorshlag from what I understood gave up on them completely after being their main dealer in the US and started selling MCS as their higher end coilover. I own a set of the MCS DA shocks and will say they are top notch in quality.

I'm currently testing a set of AST 4150s on my car...

Pictures or it didn't happen.
