well the issue is the price of other options ...Penske etc which leaves the AST looking cheap.

It is not cheap at circa £670.

I cannot tell you the exact price as I do not have their final invoice, but will happily do so when I get it.

I have qualified advice, although do not know personally, that the original equipment shock can still be bought for comparable money but is and I quote "dogshite" ...lol

Standard replacement Showa is the most expensive (and total dogshit).
Maxton no longer make their shock.
Penske is pretty good.
AST is head and shoulders better than anything that has ever been available for the tubers and is also the cheapest 8-)
I have nothing else to say on this subject :roll:
