Most people run out of spring before reaching droop limit.

Properly set up shocks will have the piston exactly mid shock body at your desired ride height. Droop shouldn't be a issue for most people unless your set up allows alot of rear outside corner weight transfer. (IE-stiff front bar/springs, to soft rear bar/springs) with my current set up at 1.28 G's my front inside tire still touches the ground with my current set up. (900f/800r, 1.25 solid bar full stiff, gendron rear bar 3/5)

With being a single adjustable shock, with no remote, i know AST was trying to keep as much length and capacity in the rear shock as possible which is why im guessing its a bit longer than the JRZ tripple with remote. The rear shock is pretty short, even stock so i know its a difficult balance. We're keeping in contact with AST on all of this to make sure they know what our customers need and want

Appreciate the info guys!

Well I'm looking to run more like 13.5" (~1 or 1.25" lowered) in the rear if we are voting

Good news Austin. I'm still debating of further track/street prepping my current car, or getting another high mileage S2000 and starting a dedicated track car. If the first I'll be in once available. If the later, maybe tax return time.

Good to hear! With how nice your car is and how fast you picked things up, its only a matter of time until your car starts to look like mine. Do yourself a favor and get a dedicated track car if you plan on getting into it long term with the s2000 Chassis...I might even know of one here at the shop for sale.

Sorry to ask again, I know this was mentioned before but perhaps there are some updates? When is the approximate ETA on the 4150s?

Our best guess is February or so
