Default AST Suspension for Porsche 964?

Is anyone out there running the AST suspension for the Porsche 964? I have it on my BMW and I've been happy with it. So far I have found they have the 4150 and the 5100 available:

I'm thinking of giving the 4150 stuff a try but I think I'm going to have to fabricate something for the rear shock mount. Spring choices should be fairly simple based on the information I can find here but I'm just wondering if anyone has tried these coil overs with the stock shock mounts.

I looked into these when I first got my car and all they had was te 5100 which is a real high-end setup. These 4150s are still pretty expensive compare to the popular KW V3 option many people go with that already includes springs.

Vorshlag is local for me so I see lots of the fast guys in the area run ASTs and sing their praise.

My buddy had a set of 4100s on his e36 M3 and the car was on rails. So much that he totaled it exploring the limits on the street.

Apparently the main advantage of the AST vs the KW V3 is the mono tube design vs the twin tube design. I believe that's what makes the AST products a bit more expensive comparably. Most of the higher end suspensions are mono tube while the lower end tend to be twin tube.
