How do I adjust the compression and rebound settings?

The compression and rebound adjustments are made independently using the knobs on the external reservoirs. Each adjustment offers 12 distinct positions, allowing for fine-tuning of your suspension's response to road or track conditions.

What is the benefit of the inverted strut design?

The inverted strut design places the larger piston rod at the bottom and the larger damper body at the top. This configuration is stronger and better suited to handle the significant side loads and braking forces experienced during performance driving, improving durability and consistency.

What is included in this coilover kit?

This kit includes a full set of 2-way adjustable monotube coilovers with external reservoirs, springs, droplinks, camber-adjustable front top mounts, and solid rear top mounts. It is designed to be a comprehensive suspension upgrade.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to seriously improve your Seat Leon's handling for track days or spirited driving, this AST 5200 Series coilover kit is built for that purpose. These aren't your average bolt-on upgrades; they're designed for drivers who want to fine-tune every aspect of their suspension's performance. The core of this system is its 2-way adjustable monotube dampers, which allow you to independently control both compression and rebound damping, giving you precise command over how your car reacts to the road or track surface.

What sets these coilovers apart is the external reservoir system, which holds extra oil and gas to keep the dampers cool under heavy use, preventing fade during long sessions. You can adjust the compression damping to control how quickly the suspension compresses, and the rebound damping to manage how it extends back. With 12 distinct positions for each adjustment, you can dial in the perfect balance for cornering grip, responsiveness, and even ride comfort. The kit also includes camber-adjustable front top mounts and solid rear top mounts, allowing you to further optimize your alignment for maximum tire contact and steering precision.

This kit comes complete with springs and droplinks, ready for installation. The inverted strut design is a smart choice for handling the significant side loads and braking forces encountered during performance driving, ensuring the dampers remain robust and effective. By tuning these settings, you can reduce body roll, improve steering feel, and maintain consistent tire contact for better traction.
