Miata shocks are hardly new for AST, but the first Vorshlag spec'd 4100 versions are - and this is that set. We are working with a local STS2 racer/tester (see setup details in our Street Touring Discussions forum) to work on installation tips, debugging new features, and provide race test data on the first set of NA/NB chassis Miata 4100s this week. Its in the shop and almost wrapped up. We've already sold a number of 4300 shocks for this chassis, and put 4100s on an NC chassis Miata earlier this year, but this is the first NA/NB set of single adjustables.

Long shocks are the fronts, short are the rears. Knob is for rebound adjustment

Lower bushings are spherical. Upper is made to work with the stock NA/NB upper mounts or with (upcoming) spherical mounts

This was one of the ride height iterations, which was eventually lowered more at the rear (see the thread in Setup Discussions (http://www.vorshlag.com/forums/showthread.php?p=52342#post52342)))

Left: OEM front is 14" long and 150#/in, rear spring is 11" and 90#/in (SOFT!). We are using 7" 60mm ID Hypercos, 550 #/in front, 350#/in rear
We've been working the specs and should have a 4200 double adjustable set-up built soon, as well as CStock and EStock specific set-ups for SCCA Stock class autocrossers. We tentatively have an EStock tester lined up as well. :)
Hanchey will post the dyno plots soon; they looked great.
