IMO its perfect. I was worried before I installed because here in Austin we have hilly roads and steep driveways but this has not been an issue.
I do have the passenger creaking sound issue which is a simple fix and AST has gone above and beyond in helping out the small batch of people that have had this issue.

Now the picture I posted makes it look way lower than normal due to the hard right turn. It sits like the photo below.

I am so excited to get my AST springs. I have my name down for the next batch coming in. The stance is perfect.

Make sure you guys get them installed, correctly. The spring spacers are getting installed wrong, causing the spring binding to wear through the sleeves, prompting a whole thread of complaints. I'm gonna skip them, and just go KW HAS. Although, I've been wanting to wait for the BMW DDC Coilovers, which seem to be vaporware.

I’ve already talked to AST and they sent the instructions. It’s very simple!

I did see that on the thread. Just letting people be aware that there is a fix. Not everyone getting them installed, are going to get them installed by a shop that knows about the fix, since it's brand new. So, unless you're armed with this information, yourself, when you go get the springs installed, it may turn into a headache for you. Especially if you don't have the capacity to adjust them, yourself.

jpsimon · 03-03-2022, 07:27 PM

For sure! It’s good to spread the info.

So it's not just location of the spring insulators on older sets?

That’s all it is. AST is sharing instructions on how to measure to confirm the proper location of the insulator which you can easily adjust.

My vanity plate came in today, and I put on the frame while I was at it.

I think the plate perfectly sums up the car
