AST shocks on the street AST offers some pretty bada$$ rear shocks for the F-body, just wandering if anybody has daily driven these shocks on the street. My Konis have not held up, they tend to be fragile. I am curious if its going to be the same story with the AST's. They are shorter for the lowered cars, so since they wont be bottoming out early due to being too long, maybe they will hold up??
My only other option it seems is to have the Koni's rebuilt, and shortened a little to make them "correct"
Thanks

I'm an AST dealer. I have a set of my own for another car.... and currently that car in on Koni's waiting on the rear AST's to be fixed.
These are more racing shocks, than street shocks. Koni's are street shocks, just very good ones that offer a lot of control and work well for performance applications and allow me to beat up on guys with uber-dollar stuff most of the time.
I don't know what you are breaking on the Koni's as rears are never an issue... and it's not the length that's a problem as they will compress more than the bumpstops will allow the axle to move.....
