What does 'true coilover' mean for my Mini Cooper?

True coilovers mean both the front and rear suspension units are designed as a single coilover assembly. This design prioritizes adjustability for both ride height and damping, offering more control over your car's handling characteristics.

How do I adjust the rebound on these AST coilovers?

You can adjust the rebound damping using the knob on the damper. There are 12 distinct positions, each offering a different feel for the return stroke of the suspension. This lets you dial in the suspension response to your driving style and road conditions.

Do I need to buy new top mounts for these coilovers?

No, these AST 5100 Series coilovers are designed to work with your vehicle's original equipment (OEM) top mounts. This can simplify installation and help maintain the factory fit and feel.

About this part

Product Details

Already running a performance setup on your Mini Cooper? This AST 5100 Series coilover kit is the next piece to maximize grip and control. It's designed for the 2002-2014 Mini Cooper models, giving you more adjustability for both damping and ride height.

These are true coilovers, meaning both front and rear dampers use a coilover design. They include springs and are made to work with your car's OEM top mounts. The monotube design uses a large piston for precise rebound control, which means no aeration or foaming. This results in more responsive valving and consistent handling, even under hard driving.
