AST Coilovers (as Type 25)
Sold
Possibly for sale if there's any interest. Will take a significant reduction on new price, done less than 1000 miles. As new condition except for fitting marks.
Currently fitted to my Legacy but designed for classic Impreza and fitted with 50N/mm front (285lb/in) & 40N/mm (225lb) rear springs.
These are a very smooth and refined coilover for reasonably smooth roads driven fast or slow or rough roads up to 'sane' speeds but are not really suited for B-road hacking in Scotland. Maybe my Legacy is just a bit too heavy for them. They can potentially be revalved but not quite yet.
The adjuster stiffens corner-entry nicely for track-days.

Where these the spring rates that were advised for fit by you or are they standard Powerstation fit spring rates?
You have pm also

I'm looking for £700 delivered, they cost £1022. I'm open to offers but I'm not desperate to sell. If I don't get the price then I'll keep them and get them revalved.
Fang, these are the spring rates suggested by Powerstation and the springs supplied by them. They supply the classics with either the 40/30N springs for general fast-road or 50/40N for more track oriented application. The 50/40s are very acceptable for everyday driving. I doubt you'd want to go to 40/30. This is a fast-road rather than hard-core track setup. If you want to go stiffer then you'd best get advise from Powerstation - they're not fans of stiff springing. Theyre still on the car.
Mark, I don't have pics and I wont be at the car till next w'end. I think there are pics on http://www.astsuspensionuk.com/sport.asp They are brand new except for minor fitting marks. What is it you want to see?

Jon, I think there is a different version for the new-age. I've a feeling there's a difference in the brackets. You'd be best to check with Powerstation.

Jon thanks for the quick reply - I'm 99% sure they wouldn't be right for the new-age.
Z I'll send you a PM later. I saw on one your posts that your '99 RA is 200kg lighter than my leggy! That will make all the difference and I'm sure these will work well for you.
