I've long been a fan of AST shocks, and have used them on all of my competition vehicles.

When I was autocrossing my Mazda 2, they found a way to adapt the rears from a BMW application to fit, but there was no front strut available.

I just found out that they now have a regular production fitment for the Mazda 2 !!

This is a 4100 series, single-adjust shock with the trick double digressive Grand Am pistons. This gives you plenty of compression damping when you need it, w/o being too harsh for street use. The rebound adjustment range is HUGE.

They are $2000 for the set of four, which isn't cheap, but they are high quality parts as run by the cars in the Grand Am Continental Challenge road racing series.

Anyways, just wanted to let folks know that there is a new option on the table.

Here is their web site and contact info for a direct purchase: AST-USA

It is going to be hard to not get these compared to revalving the bilsteins I have in a year. I just have to remember that the 2 is only my DD and fun autocrosser. I need to spend the money on my Miata not the 2.
 
Nice to see a top shelf coilover completed for the 2.

FYI, AST is the parent company for Moton now. I run a set of AST 4100s valved for my S2000- they're very nice!
 
Awesome! I won't be needing these anytime time soon though...maybe in the future when I can get back into autocrossing and track stuff on a more regular basis.
 
Update... :(

Suspension update, finally got a word from AST on the front option for the 2 :

" There's no update regarding the front struts. It's not something that we can make at this time. "
