AST 2 Way Adjustable Coilover Suspension
Janner_Sy:
The temptress had KW V3s on before didnt it steve?
How do you find them in comparison. ASTs are fitted to this Golf R i have at the moment, and its been the deciding factor for me to go for a set of coilovers again. Compared to TFSI_Mikes KW V3s its so much more comfortable over the bumpy stuff, with no crashy-ness at all.
That said, mike has no idea what settings his are on as Awesome just stuck them on straight out of the ox, ans i have no idea what VWR have set these ASTs to. His might be on stiff, mine might be on soft, so not a direct comparison.
They seem to be the perfect balance between comfort and handling, plus easy to adjust.
Getting a set for the Golf Kart.

With adjustable suspensions I'd recommend to try several settings.
Just turn the knobs to full stiff (clockwise) and count the 'klicks'.
That's what it's now. Then turn back to three or four klicks softer or
stiffer than before.
Very important: Write down the old setup and all the changes !!
You will forget the setup a week later. :wink:

Yes I previously had V3's and wouldn't buy KW's again, I found the KW's very harsh and crashy but not as good on the track as the AST's which still feel OK on the road.
My AST have a different spring rate to the ones on the APR demo car, mine are more setup for track than fast road like on the Golf R. :happy2:

I think that sums mikes KWs up perfectly. Think id rather have the fast road springs anyway. Its something I coukd always upgrade at a later date I guess. Are the dampers still the same or have you got higher specced shocks?
SteveP:
Same spec I believe :happy2:
