What is the benefit of the external reservoirs?

The external reservoirs help to keep the shock oil cooler and prevent overheating during intense driving. This allows for more consistent damping performance, especially under track conditions.

How do I adjust the rebound and compression?

Adjustments are made using the knobs on the external reservoirs for compression and often on the top of the shock body for rebound. Each click provides a distinct change in damping force.

What is the advantage of camber-adjustable top mounts?

Camber-adjustable top mounts allow you to precisely tune the angle of your wheels relative to the vertical axis. This is crucial for optimizing tire contact patch and improving cornering grip, especially when modifying suspension geometry for performance driving.

About this part

Product Details

This kit includes a full set of AST 5200 Series MONOTUBE coilovers, complete with external reservoirs and springs, designed for the Mercedes C-Class W204. You also get camber-adjustable front top mounts and solid rear top mounts, where applicable for your specific model. These are built for drivers who want to seriously dial in their car's handling for demanding use, like track days.

What sets these apart is the 2-way adjustability. You can independently tune both the rebound (how quickly the shock returns after compression) and the compression (how quickly it compresses). With 12 distinct positions for each adjustment, you have a lot of flexibility to fine-tune the suspension's response to the road or track. This allows you to manage body roll in corners, improve responsiveness, and maintain consistent tire contact for better traction. The inverted strut design is a solid choice for handling the significant side loads and braking forces common in performance driving. The adjustable top mounts further enhance your ability to alter front-end geometry for improved grip.

With this level of adjustability, you can customize your suspension setup for a wide range of conditions, from aggressive track sessions to achieving a more controlled ride. It's a well-built system that gives you the tools to really connect with your car's performance capabilities.
