AST Stickers are highlight of SCCA Video!

The 2009 SCCA Solo2 Nationals was the breakout event for AST Suspension. If this independent YouTube video is any indication of the popularity gaining with ASTs, I'm not sure what is. Pay attention to the large number of AST stickers on various makes and models. . Nationals video.

Ian Stewart Takes Home NASA TTC Championship on AST 5100s

When points matter most, AST delivers. As does Ian Stewart! Ian built his National Champion Mini Cooper with the best of the best. Ian needed the best suspension money could buy BUT he needed it to fulfill the rules of NASA's Time Trial classes which have point values on adjustments and dollar amounts. Accrue too many points and you're in the next fastest class. Naturally we suggested AST 5100s which use the same competition parts as our 5200 two way remotes and 5300 triple adjustable shocks at a lower price point. Ian proved that good driving and single adjustable shocks can (and do) win at the national level. You don't have to "break the bank" to win. Thanks again Ian!

RobiSpec wins Redline Stock AWD and Overall Stock with AST 5200s!

RobiSpec was in full force at the Redline Time Attack event Round 7. Robert "Robi" Fuller piloted his new '08 STI complete with AST 5200 Suspension. Robi, known for his suspension tuning with another shock company, took the STI out on its maiden voyage with AST dampers and took home the win in class and Overall Stock class as well. Robi said, "The shocks were great right out of the box. The car had so much grip, I didn't have to adjust them all day." We can't wait until he dials the car in for the Finale at California Speedway.

Thanks to the RobiSpec team for brining home the win. Good luck at Fontana!
