AST 5200 Series Coilovers VW Golf Mk2 1G

AST is known for building serious performance suspension components, and these 5200 Series coilovers for the VW Golf Mk2 (1G) are a prime example. If you're looking to take your Mk2's handling to the next level, especially for track use, this is a system designed to meet those demands. These coilovers feature a MONOTUBE design for consistent damping performance, and the inverted strut design helps them handle the significant side loads and braking forces common in performance driving.

What really sets these apart is the 2-way adjustability. You can independently adjust both the compression and rebound damping. The compression adjustment controls how quickly the suspension moves inward, while the rebound adjustment controls how quickly it extends back out. With 12 distinct positions for each adjustment, you have a lot of flexibility to fine-tune your car's balance, reduce body roll in corners, improve responsiveness, and keep your tires firmly planted for better traction. This level of control allows you to tailor the suspension to specific track conditions or your driving style. The kit also includes external reservoirs to help manage heat during hard use, and where applicable, camber-adjustable front top mounts and solid rear top mounts to give you even more control over your front-end geometry and grip.

This is a comprehensive suspension package. Springs are included, and the system is designed for ride height adjustability, giving you the ability to set your car up precisely. If you're serious about maximizing the performance and handling of your VW Golf Mk2, this AST suspension system offers the adjustability and robust construction needed to achieve that goal.
