What's wrong with or different about your ASTs?

[johnwag]

Are we going to see Xidas for the NC any time soon?

Vorshlag has them and they're 5 minutes from your house.

the only differences is the sales person, put the 949 version and a original on a shock dyno i doubt you will we any thing that matters to any one that's not driving a F1 car.

My rears are emulsion shocks.

[MoonieGT]

What about shock length? Did 949 change the lengths?

[SirHustlerEsq]

You can look at mine some time and compare the difference but I'm not going to give away AST's secrets on the internet, lol.

[MoonieGT]

We will compare notes sometime. As long as the clubsports ride and perform like the AST ill be in heaven.

Yeah I know. Do they have a shop I can visit or is it a home based business? I didn't see anything on their website as for an address. Also, are the Xidas specifically tuned for the Miatas? I thought there were differences between the two; Xida and AST. Guess it depends on which adj. I get, 1, 2, or 3 way with reseviours.

[MoonieGT]

Xida is 949racing's custom AST for the miata. Emilio worked with AST to market his own custom spec'd coilover.

edit:
I don't know what I'm talking about.

hey i like Mr. Potato Head.

BTW, I'd really like to have 3-ways, but my singles get the job done. I'm getting to the point now that I can feel when I need more low-speed compression damping than rebound at MSR, on settings that worked fine at TWS.

Can you explain this a bit? How do you know it's the low-speed compression that needs to be changed? Driving down the highway on Koni Str.t, my car seems to have low amplitude high frequency bounce. I've been wondering what that means in terms of what would need to be changed to "tune" that out? Is it a compression or rebound issue? To ask the question more generally, how do you know when it's the compression that is over/underdamped versus the rebound being over/underdamped?

Personal preference. Mine aren't over/under damped but after talking to someone else, that adjustment would be a bandaid for driving improperly. lol.

Your issue is high-speed valving most likely, and you'd like to have less of it. However, you probably don't have enough spring rate to do it.
