What is the benefit of an inverted strut design?

An inverted strut design places the damper body and seals higher up, which helps protect them from road debris and impacts. It also offers better support for the piston rod, allowing it to handle heavier side loads and braking forces more effectively.

How do the external reservoirs and 2-way adjustability work?

The external reservoirs house the adjustable damping circuits, allowing for 12 distinct positions for both rebound and compression. This means you can independently control how quickly the suspension extends and compresses, letting you fine-tune the vehicle's handling and ride characteristics for specific track conditions or driving styles.

What is the purpose of the camber-adjustable top mounts?

The camber-adjustable top mounts allow you to alter your vehicle's front-end alignment. By adjusting camber, you can optimize tire contact with the road during cornering, which can significantly improve front-end grip and overall handling performance.

About this part

Product Details

The AST 5200 Series coilovers feature an inverted strut design, which is a smart choice for handling the significant side loads and braking forces common in performance driving. This design places the damper body and seals higher up, away from road debris and impacts, while the larger piston rod is better supported. These are MONOTUBE coilovers, meaning they use a single tube to house the piston and gas/oil, which generally offers better damping control and heat dissipation compared to twin-tube designs. This specific kit is built for the Honda Civic FD2, allowing you to fine-tune your suspension for serious track use.

What really sets these apart is the 2-way adjustability. You can independently adjust both the rebound (how quickly the damper extends) and the compression (how quickly it compresses). This is managed through external reservoirs, giving you 12 distinct positions for each adjustment. This level of control lets you dial in the suspension to match your driving style, track conditions, and desired balance between handling responsiveness and ride comfort. Stiffer settings can reduce body roll in corners and improve tire contact for better traction, while careful tuning can also help manage ride quality. The kit also includes camber-adjustable front top mounts and solid rear top mounts, giving you further ability to alter front-end geometry for improved grip.

This set comes with springs and is designed to allow for ride height adjustments, giving you the flexibility to set your vehicle up precisely. The included top mounts are a key part of the package, with the front ones offering camber adjustment to fine-tune your alignment for maximum front-end grip. The solid rear top mounts ensure a direct connection to the chassis for consistent feedback.
