Gotta say though, the gallery you have posted for the AST springs are sitting quite perfect. Looks like a 1 finger gap. Just right.
+1, when I was shopping for springs, I only had previous experience with Eibach which didn't have their product out yet for the G8x. It was between AST, H&R or MSS HAS kits. I wasn't a fan of paying more for a HAS kit knowing I would never fiddle with the height after I got it dialed in, and even KW didn't have theirs released at the time. MSS's original kit did not go low enough to justify the purchase and the only feedback people on the forums had about H&R were that they did not ride well and were bouncy (mostly stemming from experience with previous gen cars, not G8x). So at the time, the choice was easy for me to go with AST.

Honestly, now that the noise issue seems to be solved, they're perfect for my needs as a daily driver without having to pay thousands for a proper full coil-over solution.
