Racing Green AST Dampers

[reichejh]

Has anybody upgraded their suspension with RG's AST dampers? Trying to decide between them and Racing Reds?

Out of interest can I ask how you narrowed it down to these and the Racing Reds?

The ASTs appear to be priced closer to the Nitrons than the Racing Reds, Gaz Gold Pros etc. so they'd have to be pretty good...

They're Dutch so they should be good... Between Koni, Intrax, AST and one or two others, we seem to 'get' suspension.

Chris, reading through posts and speaking to TVR indies, the RR seem to be a favorite in the below £1k price range and would suit my requirements for fast road use.

On the AST front, I'm aware of AST's reputation and are somewhat buying into the story that they have been designed with TVRs in mind. Not sure if that is the case with Nitrons. That's why I'm looking to get some feedback from people who might have installed them already.

On a general note I'd say with our cars, suspension is the one area where buying the very best you can afford always gives its rewards. Especially for road driving where you want to have the most consistent grip from your tyres possible, in a range of conditions that is much wider than one would likely encounter on track (Nordschleife excepted ).

Some of the first dampers Guy ever designed under the nitron name were specifically for TVRs. it must have formed the core of his business in the early days.
The Dutch certainly do "get" suspension though as 900 says above ..
