What is the benefit of a monotube damper design?

Monotube dampers use a larger piston, which allows for more precise control over rebound damping. They also prevent aeration and foaming, ensuring consistent and responsive valving even under hard use.

How do I adjust the ride height and damping on these coilovers?

Ride height is adjusted by threading the spring perch up or down on the damper body. Rebound damping can be adjusted using the knob located on the top of the damper, with 12 distinct positions available.

Do these coilovers come with everything needed for installation?

This set includes the front and rear dampers and springs. They are designed to utilize your vehicle's OEM top mounts, which are not included.

About this part

Product Details

AST Suspension is known for developing high-performance suspension components, and their 5100 Series STREET TCO Suspension is a prime example. If you're looking to get the best road balance for your Mercedes C-Class W204, whether for everyday driving or more spirited use, this coilover system is a strong option. It's designed to maximize grip by giving you precise control over your car's rebound and ride height.

This set features front and rear dampers that use a true coilover design, meaning the spring and damper work together as a single unit. This setup offers significant adjustability for both damping settings and ride height, leading to more consistent and predictable handling. The initial spring rates and setup are based on AST's extensive development and testing, but you can easily fine-tune it to your preferences. The rebound adjustment knob allows you to control the return stroke of the dampers, letting you dial in the ideal road balance. With 12 distinct positions for rebound adjustment, each change offers a noticeable difference in how the car feels and responds.

Underneath the adjustable exterior, these are monotube dampers. This design is beneficial because it uses a larger piston, which allows for more precise control over rebound damping. Monotube dampers also prevent aeration and foaming, ensuring a more responsive valving that maintains performance even under demanding conditions. AST's high-pressure design adds resistance when needed, boosting performance when you're pushing the car. A notable feature is that these dampers are rebuildable, meaning any issues can be addressed by a certified AST service center, extending the life of your suspension investment.
