How do I adjust the compression and rebound settings?

The AST 5200 Series coilovers feature external reservoirs with separate adjustment knobs for compression and rebound. 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 diameter 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 include everything needed for installation?

This kit includes the MONOTUBE coilovers, external reservoirs, springs, and camber-adjustable front top mounts and solid rear top mounts where applicable. You will need to refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for any additional hardware or tools required.
