Ast coilovers and others

[itsjamz]

What's the difference between 2s and 1s. Struggling to find out.

Has anyone enquirer with online, quantum or other race suspension people

 

[itsjamz]

Ohlins*

 

[itsjamz]

Does anyone know?

 

[shiftspark]

1's have a smaller shaft and are non adjustable, 2's are 2 way adjustable with thicker shafts.

Yes Ohlins are £850 per insert for my cup racer bilsteins so your looking at around £2500-3000 just for inserts alone then you need cases and springs so say £4500 to build a set with cup racer cases. Muchos £££'s.

Ian speedy on here has reiger 3 way adjustable s with external reservoirs and was around 3k for them

 

[itsjamz]

So it is just a thicker shaft on 2s??? I've never had to say thicker shaft on a car forum lol

 

[Sam@NP]

Proflex do some very sexy suspension, pricey though.

Yes

 

[itsjamz]

And the benefit of that is? Less flex?

Yep

 

[itsjamz]

They charge alot for that lol

 

[BIGASH]

2's are also inverted although I'd be lying if I said I knew what advantage that gives lol

The disadvantage is you have to crawl around on the floor to adjust the buggers!

 

[Cooksport]

As Ash says, Sportline 1's are not inverted (sporlint 2's are). 1's absolutely perfect for road use and track days.

We are working on an AST Kit currently which is Non-coilover rear. Trying to get it more affordable for you guys. We will know within the next few days.

Ours are 1's.


Weve done alright with them

Aren't 1's one way adjustable and 2's 2 way?

Could you do ast 2 inserts for mk2 racer front cases or custom cases to allow ast 2's to fit to cup racer hubs? (Same cases fitted to yor mk3 but with clamping tabs for the hub) Curtis said it was possible to do cases but he was full of false promises I'm led to believe.

No both one way, but they're modular so you if you're feeling flush you can upgrade them to run external canisters to give 2 or 3 way with the sexy staubli dry breaks.

Shouldn't be so quick to run Curtis down dude, he's a good bloke.

Just going by previous story's, I would give him a chance as he was perfect the times I called.

Looking for options to upgrade to if I find the need for adjustable damping, everything has to be custom or swap out inserts etc and it gets expensive. Ohlins front inserts and AST rear coilover is what im leaning towards but I hope Bilstein can add in damping themselves something like the kit Yozza used to do, pss10 but they died with yozza who had the rights to produce I believe.

As Jay said, we've raced 3 seasons on 1's. Read the story.

 

[itsjamz]

I think I'll go for 2s with ast top mounts.

 

[itsjamz]

3 realise seasons suspension wise?

 

[Tony Hunter]

[Jay Payne]

did 2 years of trackdays on them (bought them 2nd hand so had been used before that) Then raced on them for 3 seasons so far

 

[Tony Hunter]

Oh Hai.

 

[Adam.]
