    No justification needed buddy, there will be someone looking to track drive and your dampers will be great for that. Simon @ AST Suspension UK

    My quest for the perfect fast-road suspension setup

    Firstly, you have adjustable dampers. They are designed to be adjusted for the conditions. If you are spending your time on bumpy roads turn your dampers down, it costs nothing and you may be surprised by your results. Get the most from your dampers! Secondly once you have lowered the rebound...

    Frayz's Inferno 182 - Back in the old flame

    No Worries glad to be of assistance. We don't set the ride heights on new kits before shipping, hence this set being somewhat low to start! Also loving the spray then bagging the dampers. Protect your investment people!

    M100CUP - RB 182 Sprint and Hillclimb Car

    With cold tyres and spring rates like you mentioned, you are going to generate understeer. I would go softer all round and make the rear spring stiffer than the front. Although we list the Clio as true coiler rear, you can remove the coilover spring and platform and run a lowering spring...

    AST 4100

    The top slot on the damper is elongated for camber. It really is personal preference on the springs as we have seen already in this thread. As you can imagine we speak to customers on our hugely popular Renault kits daily. The variation in usage is quite broad, we have a few customers up at 120...

    Track Focused Coilovers/Suspension

    There are more parts to consider in the 5100 than the 4100, however servicing intervals would depend on the application. If someone is always on the black stuff driving at the back round Silverstone for x amount of hours it's different to launching sausage curbs at Knockhill for the same amount...

    AST Rear Spring Diameter

    As has been mentioned, thats a road spring setup and will be shimmed as such. 65/50 we now do 70/40. but not much in it at all. Interesting as it's gonna depend on the preference of the driver. Take it round on really soft setup and it bounces around out the back at full throttle, you are...

    AST Rear Spring Diameter

    Guys I think we need to be quite clear on our conversions or someone is going to end up in a tree! 90n/110n is a race setup. That is roughly 513lb front and 627lb rear. stiff enough for race cars is plenty stiff enough for trackdays. If however the springs you have at the moment (get some...

    AST Rear Spring Diameter

    Hi Rich, If it's the car in your avatar then we would expect a 250mm rear length. I suspect the springs have been changed at some point. We supply the a 250mm rear spring in the 5100 1 way damper (40n road or 80n track), or a 200mm rear spring (80/90/100n race) in the 5200/5300 2/3way series...
