What is the benefit of having 3-way adjustable coilovers?

3-way adjustability allows you to independently tune the rebound, low-speed compression, and high-speed compression. This gives you precise control over how the suspension reacts to different track conditions, improving handling, grip, and responsiveness.

What do the external reservoirs do?

The external reservoirs increase the oil capacity of the dampers. This helps to dissipate heat more effectively, ensuring consistent damping performance even during demanding track use and preventing fade.

What is the purpose of camber-adjustable top mounts?

Camber-adjustable top mounts allow you to precisely adjust the camber angle of your front wheels. This is critical for optimizing tire contact patch during cornering, which can significantly improve front-end grip and steering response on the track.

About this part

Product Details

If you're pushing your 2011+ Lotus Elise S3 to its limits on the track, these AST 5300 Comp Series coilovers are built to help you find that extra bit of speed. This is a serious suspension upgrade designed for dedicated track use, allowing you to dial in your car's handling with a level of precision usually reserved for professional race cars. You'll be able to adjust the rebound, low-speed compression, and high-speed compression independently, giving you complete control over how your suspension reacts to everything the track throws at you.

The MONOTUBE design means these dampers are robust and can handle the intense forces generated during hard driving. With external reservoirs, you get more oil capacity, which helps keep things cool and consistent, even during long sessions. The kit also includes camber-adjustable front top mounts and solid rear top mounts. Adjusting the camber allows you to fine-tune your front-end geometry for maximum grip, which is crucial for fast cornering. You can adjust rebound across 12 distinct positions, and separately adjust both low-speed and high-speed compression. This means you can stiffen up the suspension to reduce body roll and improve responsiveness during cornering, or soften it to maintain tire contact and improve traction, all while fine-tuning the ride comfort.

This is a comprehensive suspension package. You'll want to consult the manufacturer's installation guide for the specific procedures and any recommended tools or hardware needed to get these coilovers properly set up on your Elise S3.
