What does 3-way adjustability mean for my car's handling?

3-way adjustability means you can independently control rebound, low-speed compression, and high-speed compression. This allows for very precise tuning of how your suspension reacts to different forces, helping to reduce body roll, improve responsiveness, and maintain tire contact for better traction on the track.

What is the benefit of the external reservoirs?

External reservoirs provide easier access to the adjustment knobs for rebound and compression settings. They also help to keep the damper fluid cooler under extreme track conditions, which can lead to more consistent performance.

What is the purpose of the camber-adjustable top mounts?

The camber-adjustable front top mounts allow you to alter your vehicle's front wheel alignment. This adjustment is crucial for optimizing tire contact with the road during cornering, which can significantly improve front-end grip and steering feel on the track.

About this part

Product Details

AST is known for building serious suspension components for dedicated racers. These 5300 Series coilovers are designed to help you challenge your Lotus Exige V6 S3 on the track. They offer a level of adjustability that lets you fine-tune your car's handling for maximum performance.

The core of this system is the MONOTUBE coilover design, which handles the significant side loads and braking forces common in track driving. You get separate adjustments for rebound, low-speed compression, and high-speed compression, all controlled via external reservoirs. This means you can precisely dial in how your suspension returns after a bump (rebound), how it reacts to gradual weight shifts (low-speed compression), and how it handles sudden impacts (high-speed compression). Adjusting these settings can 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, giving you more control over your front-end geometry to optimize grip.

With 12 distinct positions for each adjustment, you can achieve a unique driving sensation tailored to your track conditions and driving style. This level of customization allows you to balance ride comfort with track-ready responsiveness.
