AST offer a good range for the CSL sportline 2 either with or without coilover rear and the race setup are both superb, i ran s2's on my E36 and worked superb right upto 1100lb springs, cant recommend them enough, been selling them also for 3 years now and i havn't had any problems reported ;)

Was just doing a bit more research on the ASTs and thought I'd refer back to your post .. then something caught my eye ...

The rear adjuster is suppose to sit on the top like KWs not on the aluminium arm ;)

it was fitted by the UK AST guys ?? are you sure, is it an easy job to change ??

if I remember rightly the OEM springs sat on a rubber seat ?

Also, I think the height adjuster is sat on top of the spring ???

There might be a difference to barrel springs, but according to the Vorshlag guys it goes on the top:

I've searched also and the opinion is split actually on where it should ideally go - I personally think it is better on top as there's less movement withe the adjuster and less likely for it to punch through the aluminium arm if it sat on the bottom.

There is an advantage for having it on the bottom though and that is you can put a long bolt and washer and actually secure the adjuster to the arm.

I believe most other brands have the adjuster on top.

Not hard to change around - wheel off, 18mm damper bolt and drop the arm, support it on a jack and take out the spring and adjuster and flip it.
