What does 2-way adjustable damping mean for my car's handling?

2-way adjustable damping means you can independently control both the rebound and compression settings of your shocks. This allows you to fine-tune how the suspension reacts to bumps and cornering forces, helping to reduce body roll and improve tire contact with the road for better traction and a more responsive feel.

What is the benefit of external reservoirs?

External reservoirs increase the amount of shock fluid available and help dissipate heat more effectively. This is important during demanding driving conditions like track use, as it helps maintain consistent damping performance and prevents the shocks from overheating.

What is the purpose of camber-adjustable top mounts?

Camber-adjustable top mounts allow you to adjust the angle of your wheels relative to the vertical axis. This adjustment is crucial for optimizing front-end grip and handling, especially when you've modified suspension components or are setting up the car for track use.

About this part

Product Details

AST is known for building serious performance suspension components, and their 5200 Series coilovers are a prime example. If you're looking to get the most out of your Lotus Elise S2 on the track, these are designed to help you achieve that. They allow for fine-tuning of your suspension's behavior, giving you the ability to dial in the perfect setup for your driving style and track conditions.

These are a 2-way adjustable monotube coilover system. What that means is you can independently adjust both the rebound (how quickly the shock returns after compression) and the compression damping (how quickly the shock compresses). This level of control lets you manage body roll in corners, improve responsiveness, and keep your tires firmly planted for better traction. The external reservoirs give you more fluid capacity and better heat dissipation, which is crucial for consistent performance during hard driving. The inverted strut design is built to handle the significant side loads and braking forces common in performance driving.

This kit also includes camber-adjustable front top mounts and solid rear top mounts. The adjustable front mounts allow you to fine-tune your front-end geometry for improved grip. Springs are included with the kit, and you have the flexibility to adjust spring rates to further customize your setup. With these coilovers, you can really dial in the balance and feel of your Elise S2 for track use.
