I've emailed AST, and asked if they would like to expand their productline with Sportline I. suspension kits for the Xsara and for the 306GTI-6, and surprisingly they've replied! (God loves a tryer! )

Here's the mail:



Mr Polacsek,



Thank you for your email.



Unfortunately this model is not standerd listed. We need a front and rear shock to develop this model. If you can deliver this we give you a special discount of 40% on the customer price. But we need an order for at least 5 sets of this model.



Please let me know if you are interested.



With kind regards,

AST
Marleen




for those who are not familiar with AST, here's their homepage:

AST Clicky

and to list some of the cars which use their suspesnion kit:

Litchfield Nissan GTR
Litchfield Honda Civic Type R
Litchfield Type 20
Litchefield Type 25
Oettinger Audi S3
Nnomo Mugen Honda S2000

and lots of of other cars, like Porsches; EVOs; etc...

and that's only on the street, they have a huge reputation in onroad races (endurance; touring c ar champs.; and in rallying aswell.


I think I'll settle with the Sportline I option, these feature:

Sport-Line are mono-tube high-pressure, coil-over shock absorbers. Damping force on rebound and compression is adjustable in 12 positions. These shock absorbers are adjustable to several heights. Sport-Line shocks can be rebuilt and maintained. They guarantee a comfortable ride and are equipped with adjustable aluminium anodised spring seat.

Sportline I: Mc Pherson type with 22 mm shaft.



So, please write down your names if you're interested and if we can get at least 5 person I'll send them a pair of front struts and rear shock absorbers!

Feel free to ask any question and I'll email them!

I don't know the exact prices yet, but I'll check the already existing Sportline I coilover prices and this will show a rough figure!

I'm aware that AST have a good reputation. Personally I'm hesitant to commit to buying an unproven product but hope you manage to get sufficient interest. It's certainly something I would consider if available off the shelf.

Far from unproven. Curtis from AST UK will be on here in a bit to say hello - he seems to think that they already do the kits for our cars, but is going to speak to Marleen about it. As he is only 2 miles away I can give him some spare shocks and springs if they need them.

Yes it is - he was on the Sportlines for a bit but has upgraded to the race spec stuff.

I've been in a car on AST and they're great dampers

- Bespoke rollcages/additions/adjustments. Half cages right up to complete custom spaceframes - MSA/FIA spec, CDS, ROPT, T45, etc - PM me
Email me!
Custom-made polybushes available - need an odd size or fitment? - anything from batch work to one-off pieces.

Sorry I see what you mean now. Considering their current applications they'll have to do a monumental f*ck up to suddenly get the Xsara and 306 wrong

I have spoke to Curtis a few times today, but our paths didn't quite cross. Monday i'd have thought as he is coming to pick them up and i'm looking at his van (). I am about 8 minutes away and do vinyl work for them....

Hello all, Curtis from AST suspension UK here, I have spoken to Adam a few times about suspension for the 306, we have done various 306s in the past, but all have been competition systems , totally different from fast road, I will have some units and get to work on a kit this week, I have all the facilitys to manufacture, service and revalve here AST, so its not just a case of sticking the kit on a and off you go, they will be tested by myself, please let me know if you have any questions
regards
Curtis

how much we looking at, can he recomend setting for people (like me) who dont know what they need as no expert

Hi all,
I offer a full service of specific set-up needs, so I can answer any questions you may have, for competition cars, I have different set-ups dependant on all sorts of variants, tyres , roll stiffness,driver preferation, track conditions, different circuits,race lengths, amongst other things, so please let me know what you think, as Adam said , you can specify your own spring rate if you have something that you prefer.
regards
Curtis
