What is the benefit of the external reservoirs?

The external reservoirs increase the oil capacity of the dampers, which helps with heat dissipation during demanding track use. They also provide easier access to the compression and rebound adjustment knobs.

How do I adjust the compression and rebound settings?

Each damper has separate adjustment knobs for compression and rebound damping. There are 12 distinct positions for each, allowing you to fine-tune how the suspension compresses and extends to suit track conditions and driving style.

What is the purpose of the adjustable top mounts?

The adjustable top mounts, particularly the camber-adjustable front ones, allow you to precisely tune your vehicle's suspension geometry. This is crucial for optimizing tire contact with the road during cornering and improving overall grip.

About this part

Product Details

When you're looking to get the most out of your 2011+ Lotus Elise S3 on the track, this set of AST 5200 Comp Series coilovers is what you'll want. This kit includes a full set of four MONOTUBE coilovers, complete with external reservoirs for independent compression and rebound adjustments. You also get camber-adjustable front top mounts and solid rear top mounts, allowing for precise alignment tuning to maximize front-end grip.

These coilovers let you dial in your suspension's behavior with two distinct adjustment points. You can control the rebound, which is how the damper extends back out after being compressed, and the compression, which governs how quickly the suspension compresses when hitting bumps or during hard cornering. With 12 distinct positions for each adjustment, you can fine-tune the balance between ride comfort and track performance, reducing body roll and improving tire contact for better traction. The inverted strut design is built to handle the significant side loads and braking forces common in performance driving.

This is a comprehensive suspension upgrade designed for serious track use. Springs are included in this kit, and the dampers offer flexibility in spring rate selection. The adjustable top mounts are key for dialing in your alignment, especially the camber adjustment on the front, which can significantly transform your car's cornering grip. If you're serious about track performance, this setup offers the adjustability and robust construction needed to challenge your vehicle.
