    Complete E30 M3 AST 5100 suspension

    Hi Gang, Looking to part out my track monster. I'd like to sell the suspension as a whole, that includes EVERYTHING necessary to bolt a 5 lug setup in your car, or keep your rare and expensive factory E30 M3 struts, but still have coil overs!

    Specs:
    The 5100 Series shock absorbers utilise inverted / upside down technology. The inverted design is race proven technology and produces an extremley strong damper, providing better suspension geometry under heavy lateral and braking loads as seen in a road and track environment.

    The 5100 Series shock absorbers give your car a better performance than the standard twin tube design. With the 5100 Series suspension you can adjust rebound with one knob. The adjust platform allows you to adjust the ride height of your car. AST suspension shock bodies are specially designed to keep maximum stroke, even with a lower ride height.

    Floating piston design with high pressure nitrogen means no cavitation around the piston.
    14mm diameter internal shaft.
    44.5 mm diameter shaft struts, inverted.
    Steel cylinder body shocks, inverted.
    High end, track ready suspension.
    Rebound adjustable (''Singles'').
    Low friction seal.
    Adjuster knobs permanently mounted on the dampers.
    mono ball bushings for ''eye'' shock mounts.
    DLC Coated shafts.
    DDP piston (double digressive).
    Rebuildable.
    Optional custom valving.

    Details:
    - Front struts with inverted AST 5100 singles
    - New OE E28 wheel bearings (same bearings as E30 M3, just different
    style ABS rings.)
    - Vorshlag camber plates (great plates that don't pop like the GC ones)
    - Swift 60mm 4k assist springs
    - Swift 60mm 11k 7" springs
    - 90mm wheel studs on all 4 corners (Bimmerworld I believe)
    - Massive brakes 26mm bump steer spacers
    - Factory E30 M3 tie rod arms to accommodate the AST shock adjustments
    - Adjustable sway bar end links (Turner I believe)
    - Factory E30 M3 rear subframe with purple (powerflex) trailing arm
    bushings, and new OE subframe bushings (3 track days on them)
    - Rear AST 5100 shocks with threaded aluminum bodies and mono ball lower
    bushings. These are ready for true rear coil overs with the right
    upper perches and chassis reinforcements
    - Ground control race rear shock mount
    - Hyperco 5" 750in/lb springs

    Price/payment:$4,500 + shipping. Sorry, I do not accept Paypal.

    Contact:If you have any questions or would like more details, please email me at wmwnwmn at gmail.com, this works much better than PM function.

                It is of course best offer!

                Shangsta - on the highway it rode much nicer than my ground control coil overs!

                If I did t have a massive debt to my wife for buying the M3, I'd run them on the henna car! I still have a scar from her glare after pitching the idea...

                  Damn, I'm tempted, I could sell my e30m3 5lug setup to recoup some of the cost....

                    Tempting but my misses would kill me on sight if I did that, Especially after I told her I bought another Ti.

                          Wish this were in my budget. I'd really like another set of ASTs for my m tech car.

                          If you want to sell just the coil overs, let me know. GLWS!
