I think EXE-TC's are top notch but I would say that because thats what I've bought!

recently fitted exe-tc to my 07 hawk and they are the dogs danglers tbh.Taken into account the exchange rate,anti lift kit,anti roll bars upgradge you'll nearly pay as much for ast's.Exe-tc dont require uprated roll bars or anti lift kit they are that good plus they are made of stainless so no corroding.

i have had my ast-mk1 taken off and replaced with exe_tc, they are really good and a much better ride, also they are stainless steel, have 40 settings and i hope will last much longer than the ast which had started to produce all the usual clunks and dongs when driving especially over bumps and one of the adjustment ***** had stopped functioning because the rod had pulled out the piston on the rear drivers side, Canetix fitted mine and i was well pleased with their service, regards john

Exe-TC work very nicely.

Super plush on the road and they don't do too badly on the track either

If you can afford them then I think you are right.

If you went AST you would always wonder if exe-tc were better anyway

Duncan,
How do you know that the AST's 3-ways, sprung and valved to your purpose would not be better than what you currently have? Your argument goes both ways.

Undoubtedly exe-tc's seem to be very good. I *may* even try a set.

Exe-tc's set up on my classic sti5

The settings are so good that you when on the softest setting I'm sure they are at least as comfortable as my old sti5 suspension and much, much better on track, so much so that I forget to load up the system at Snetterton the other month and I hardly even noticed........ good stuff

Ride height adjustment is easy and a bit addictive

Exe-TC's are spot on, we use them on Robin Duxbury's Time Attack car and the results speak for themselves, having also used them on the road they are extremely comfortable
