How do I adjust the rebound and compression settings?

The AST 5200 Series coilovers feature external reservoirs with knobs for adjusting rebound and compression. Each adjustment position provides distinct feedback, allowing you to fine-tune your suspension for specific driving conditions.

What is the benefit of the inverted strut design?

The inverted strut design places the larger piston rod at the bottom, which helps to handle heavy side loads and braking forces more effectively. This is crucial for performance driving and track use where these forces are significant.

Do these coilovers come with springs?

Yes, this set of AST 5200 Series coilovers includes springs. You also have the flexibility to adjust spring rates on these dampers, giving you further tuning options.

Product Details

Worn-out suspension causes poor handling and ride comfort. The AST 5200 Series 2-Way Motorsport Coilovers (Part# RIV-B1301SD) are a direct fix for your 2002-2008 Mini Cooper, offering track-ready adjustability for serious performance driving.

These are MONOTUBE coilovers with external reservoirs. They let you adjust both rebound (how fast the damper extends) and compression (how fast it compresses) separately. This allows you to fine-tune the suspension for different track conditions or driving styles. The inverted strut design handles strong side loads and braking forces common in performance driving.
