They were trying to get ground control to make some but that was going to take a while if it even happened, KW's although much nicer are also much more expensive than AST's. I would go for the teins, they were fine when I had the SRC's.
The damper weights are with top hats and I'm not sure what they weigh but my guess is the AST's and Teins are the same weight and the KW's are lighter.
If you do get the Ohlins for STR or the like be sure and order the race version
You're welcome

My fronts were too short by like 20mm or so which is fine because they just machined a delrin spacer to add some material.
Get clevis hole center to rod guide cap measurements from them and I'll tell you if they're the correct length for track or STR.

I spoke to Beau and he said they make three versions.
Street: for those who want a stock height damper
T3 race spec: for those racing in T3 I assume
Race/STR spec: for those wanting a lower than stock ride height
Just to help clear things up for people although I don't mind getting PM'd either.
If you track or auto x then the Race/STR version is what you want.

Wouldn't that be the T3 version? Stock top hat and springs.
