I completely disagree, other than the fact that AST is trash.

I run MCS on my FRS, decided to spend the coil and get Double Adjustable Remotes. There is no comparison against a KW or other similarly equipped mid-grade shock, IMO.

Response off turn-in is incredible, bump damping is way way superior than any other shock I've ran. There is a clear night and day difference how this shock performs than others.

With that being said, not all MCS shocks are made the same. You will sacrifice bump travel if you get a 2WNR shock.


It's okay to think they're overrated. But if you haven't owned one and tuned with one you're not one to make an opinion.
Totally fair, for conversation sake - have you run a professionally revalved Ohlin or Bilstein monotube shock setup?
