pros cons .02$

any feed back would be helpful.



fyi - 08 forester xt sports is what i drive, sometimes.

 

What kind of driving are you using (or will be using) the car for? Track? Auto-X? Off-Road? Daily? Other?

 

When I built my car, the Mann-AST Coilovers weren't available.
Having seen both my Ohilns setup and theirs up close, if I was doing it again, I'd probably go Mann

 

^^ for what reason? based on looking at the two? lol

 

+1

I have 4100s on mine and I've ridden on them in a few different cars. Was going to do them on my 04 FXT and ended up picking up the STI instead and it already had them lol. Contact them, they have a 13 or 14 FXT with them on it and I'm sure he'll give you a ride.

 

Pros. They're all well thought out set ups. Cons. They're expensive for most folks.

Talk to Mann. He'll tell you whatever you need to know.

 

Mann are going to do a garage sale and clear some of their inventory out at a REALLY good price very soon......

 

I've been happy with my Ohlins, but at the same time would like something that could be "expanded" The Ohilins FPS that I have are single adjustable and that's where it ends.

If I want to deal with Ohlins' customer service, at best I'm dealing with a shop in SC, vs local.

 

i am aiming for a sunday driver. its not a daily. but i am not interested in having back problems from the rough ride. i want to do it right, not just throw used sti **** in there. ill spend the money for the right thing.

i like the idea of being able to adjust them when needed. without lifting up the car.

i have heard good things about mann but just wanted to make sure the price is worth it.

 

His design philosophy for these was to be able to street them and drive to the track, crank them up for a day of fun and then dial them back to street and drive home. I can tell you they are firm but smooth on the street without being punishing when dialed down to "street". Perfect for daily IMO.
