The Design

AST coilovers are monotube, high pressure nitrogen shock absorbers. Why do you care? Most other products on the market are twin tube designs and are not pressurized. Monotubes offer the biggest pistons for more control. Gas pressurization means the oil will never cavitate around the piston. This is particularly important in environments where the vehicle makes rapid changes in direction such as autocross and road racing. This is the same technology used on $7000 shocks packaged here in a competitively priced package.

ASTs are hand built in Holland

These kits are built from scratch, not bolted into a stock body or a custom body. They are shortened approximately 1" from stock height. This is important when you lower a car, if the body is not shortened, you'll run out of travel quickly. Couple this with the best adjustable camber plates and you'll have one of the largest suspension travel ranges in the business. The shocks have adjusters that install on the top of the strut/shock. No need to carry tools with you to make adjustments.
