What is the benefit of having external reservoirs on the coilovers?

External reservoirs help to keep the shock oil cooler under heavy use, like during track driving. This helps prevent shock fade and maintains consistent damping performance even when the suspension is working hard.

How do I adjust the compression and rebound settings?

The compression and rebound adjustments are typically made using knobs or dials located on the external reservoirs or the shock body itself. Each click or position changes the damping characteristics, allowing you to fine-tune the suspension's response.

What is the purpose of camber-adjustable top mounts?

Camber-adjustable top mounts allow you to change the angle of the top of the wheel relative to the vehicle's body. This adjustment is crucial for optimizing tire contact with the road during cornering, which can significantly improve front-end grip and handling.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to get the most out of your 2012 and up Lotus Exige S3 V6 on the track, these AST 2-way motorsport coilovers are built for that purpose. They allow you to independently adjust both the compression and rebound damping, giving you the flexibility to dial in your suspension for specific track conditions and driving styles. The inverted strut design is a smart choice for handling the significant side loads and braking forces that come with serious performance driving.

Each corner features a monotube coilover with external reservoirs, which helps manage heat and maintain consistent damping performance. You get 12 distinct positions for both compression and rebound adjustments, so you can really fine-tune how your car reacts to the road. Adjusting the rebound controls how quickly the shock extends, while compression adjustment dictates how fast it compresses. Balancing these settings can help reduce body roll in corners, improve steering response, and keep your tires firmly planted for better traction. The kit also includes camber-adjustable front top mounts and solid rear top mounts, which allow you to alter your front-end geometry for improved grip.

This set comes complete with springs and the necessary top mounts to get you started. Having the ability to adjust both compression and rebound separately means you can tailor the ride balance precisely to your needs, whether you're chasing lap times or just want a more connected feel to the road.
