    Coil-on or coil-off on the rear? In the MCS guy's thread, he says the issue of blow out is blown out of proportion. Might affect wheels though I think.

      Nah standard spring locations. I like my luke box too much to reinforce and do rear coilovers.

              I think it's time to drop "strict budget" from the title, Mr. AST. ;)

                    Simple. You get what you pay for with suspension, and the GCs were shot so something needed done.

                      Current off-the-shelf Konis aren't quite up to snuff for the spring rates I want to run. It was either double adjustable (noisy) Konis or ASTs for a similar price. AST is really the better damper. Matches better, nicer damping curve, and I've always wanted a set. Boom, decision made.

                      (Alternate explanation: one of my Konis is blown and I wanted ASTs)

                          C1s make good cupholders


                          FS: Set of Konis!


                          Brand new never installed


                          ASTs replace G60 Konis


                          Orange adjuster sex


                          Mounting something


                          bottlecap spare to ASTs and R888s


                          Look at how little droop travel these things have... these are seriously short stroke dampers and I'm actually going to have to lower my car to get enough travel to be comfortable


                          The flash really brings out all the beauty in the paintjob


                          Here she sits before I lower it further

                            Nice! I always look forward to this thread updates!

                            BTW - since I removed my factory antenna - I forgot that thing looks like a 70's CB antenna on an e30!
