What adjustments can I make with these coilovers?

These coilovers offer 3-way adjustability. You can independently tune the rebound damping, low-speed compression, and high-speed compression. This allows for precise control over how your suspension reacts to different driving conditions and track surfaces.

What is the benefit of the external reservoirs?

The external reservoirs provide a separate chamber for the damper fluid and gas. This helps to keep the fluid cooler under heavy use, reducing the risk of shock fade and allowing for more consistent damping performance, especially during prolonged track sessions.

What is the purpose of the adjustable top mounts?

The included camber-adjustable front top mounts allow you to alter the front wheel's camber angle. This adjustment is crucial for optimizing tire contact with the road during cornering, which can significantly improve front-end grip and handling performance.

About this part

Product Details

This kit from AST includes a full set of 5300 Series MONOTUBE coilovers, complete with springs and droplinks, designed for the Seat Leon 1M1736. You also get external reservoirs for independent adjustment of rebound and both low- and high-speed compression. Where applicable, this kit also includes camber-adjustable front top mounts and solid rear top mounts, giving you the ability to fine-tune your suspension geometry for improved handling and grip.

With the 3-way adjustability, you can independently control the rebound (how the damper returns after compression) and the compression damping (how quickly the suspension compresses). The low-speed compression adjustment affects how the suspension reacts to gradual inputs, like body roll during cornering, while the high-speed adjustment handles rapid impacts from bumps or rough surfaces. This level of control allows you to dial in the suspension for specific track conditions, balancing responsiveness and tire contact for optimal traction and a more connected driving feel. The inverted strut design is built to withstand significant side loads and braking forces encountered during spirited driving.

This comprehensive coilover system allows for fine-tuning of ride height and spring rates, giving you the flexibility to customize your vehicle's suspension setup. The adjustable top mounts further enhance your ability to alter front-end geometry, which can significantly transform front-end grip. This is a well-built system for those looking to maximize their vehicle's performance on the track.
