The reduced price is excellent. I have driven a car on AST's and its amazing compared to the TCK system thats on my car. I have no clue why the E30 doesnt get the same price break.

If anyone is looking to get a set of coilovers they would be crazy to not consider this deal. The vendors that are selling them are also good to work with.

4200s would be nice. maybe their higher up stuff would get a price break. then it would be a good deal over motons (3 way adjustable guys)

Volume. All the vendors claim that they are working on getting AST to drop the prices for the E30s, but we will see.

After almost two years of waiting on coilovers this price reduction seems almost too good to be true. I hope this isn't another bad April Fool's joke, but most vendor's sites seem to be confirming this, so my calls will start tomorrow! For a part time DD, what do you guys think about the AST4100, with Vorshlag camber plates, Vorshlag rear RTAB shims with newer OEM RTABs, and the rubber, not spherical RSMs?

I use powerflexes, but otherwise, that's my setup. Buy the rogue RSMs.

What makes you say that. The rear is the same as others. The adjustable collar is mounted at the top of the spring.
