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.

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:

Same experience i had with my KW V3, and the lack of ability to adjust it while it was on the car  :fighting:

Tfsi_Mike:

Did you dig out the invoice for a price Steve? Thanks

Mike

DaveB@Vagbremtechnic:
Interesting KWV3's were the de facto standard as was Revo, 2012 is going to be an interesting year for tuning.

Hopefully it might lead to some softening of prices

Janner_Sy:
Happens all the time, depends who gets parts to the market first as they get the lions share of custom on the forums.  Miltek are an example as well.

Mike, Speaking to Matt the other day, ASTs work out about the same price as the KW V3s of B16 Bilsteins
