How do I adjust the rebound on these coilovers?

You can adjust the rebound using the knob on the damper. There are 12 distinct positions, each offering a different feel. This allows you to control how the damper returns after compression to achieve your desired road balance.

Can I use my existing top mounts with these coilovers?

Yes, these coilovers include springs that are designed to work with your vehicle's OEM top mounts. This simplifies installation and helps maintain a comfortable ride configuration.

What does a monotube design mean for performance?

A monotube design uses a larger piston and prevents aeration or foaming within the damper. This results in more consistent and responsive valving, especially during hard driving or when the suspension is working hard.

Product Details

You get a set of AST 5100 Series coilovers in this kit. These are designed for the 2006 Lotus Exige, offering a way to control your car's grip by adjusting rebound and ride height. They aim for a comfortable setup with a balanced feel on the road.

The AST 5100 Series uses a monotube damper design. This means a larger piston inside controls the rebound damping, and it prevents aeration or foaming. This results in more responsive valving and consistent performance, especially in demanding driving conditions. The front dampers are a coilover setup, while the rear maintains a divorced setup like the original equipment, contributing to a more comfortable ride.
