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

Ride height is adjusted by threading the lower spring perch up or down on the shock body. Rebound damping is adjusted using the knob on top of the front dampers or the remote adjuster for the rear, with 12 distinct positions available.

What is the benefit of a monotube damper design?

Monotube dampers have a large piston that allows for more precise control over rebound damping. They also prevent aeration and foaming of the oil, leading to more responsive valving and consistent performance, especially under demanding conditions.

Can I use my car's original top mounts with this kit?

Yes, these AST coilovers are designed to work with your vehicle's original top mounts. This helps simplify the installation process.

Product Details

AST makes these 5100 Series Non Coil Over Shock Absorbers for the VW Golf Mk7. If you want a better balance between everyday driving comfort and road grip, this suspension kit is a solid option. It helps control your car's height and how fast the shocks extend, which maximizes tire contact with the road.

This kit uses monotube dampers, which have a large piston inside. This design helps control the rebound adjustment more precisely. Because it's a monotube, there's no air mixed in with the oil, so the valving responds better. The front shocks are coilover style, while the rear shocks keep a separate spring and shock setup, similar to how the factory designed it. This setup is known for a more comfortable ride while still improving road balance. The kit includes springs with fixed rates, chosen based on AST's development and testing. You can easily adjust the rebound damping with a knob that has 12 positions, letting you fine-tune the feel for your driving needs.
