Hey guys,
Im about to pick up a set coilover and im in between AST4100 or Muellerized JIC. Im going to use it for weekend track day car but also daily driving, so I was wondering if you guys can give me some pros and cons on them and also suggest about what coilover to go with. all suggestions are welcome and doesn't have to these two coilover but my budget is only 2000 to 2500 the most!
thanks alot
Nick

I have never ridden on the Muller JIC's but I'm sure they are great. I HAVE, however, owned both the Robi KW3's and the AST4100's. Between the two I like the AST4100's more. That's what I have on my Evo X now.

To be fair, the KW's were on the stock top mounts while the AST's are being used with the Vorshlag camber plates. But I still think the AST's are a slightly better design over the KW's. They are also less expensive.

i love my mullerized jic's they ride super nice even on full soft they dd great and they handle like a champ..plus with going with a mullerized set up you can get it customized to your specification/likings. my only downfall with them is that the dang allen key bolt that locks your perch for adjustment strips easy. they do replace them for you for free though. only happen to me once btw.

I don't know why everyone thinks you have to run camber plates with the ASTs....you don't.

You can run the stock mounts but you have to get an extra piece that was supplied for free.

How is the ride of the AST's over the Robi KW3's? Are you located in Cali?

True, and you can still get a good amount of camber.

With higher spring rates I would definitely recommend the camber plates and the Vorshlags are much better than the plates provided with most coilovers.
