How do I adjust the rebound and compression settings?

The AST 5200 Series coilovers feature external reservoirs with separate adjustment knobs for rebound and compression. You can select from 12 distinct positions for each setting to fine-tune your suspension's behavior.

What is the benefit of the inverted strut design?

An inverted strut design places the larger damper tube at the bottom, closer to the wheel. This setup is stronger and better able to handle the significant side loads and braking forces encountered during performance driving.

Do I need any special tools to install these coilovers?

Installation typically requires standard suspension tools. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for a detailed list of recommended tools and procedures.

Product Details

Doing a track day or serious performance driving? The AST 5200 Series 2-way adjustable coilovers are built for that. This kit, part number RIV-V1903SD, lets you dial in your suspension for maximum grip and control on your Audi S3. It uses a monotube design with external reservoirs for consistent damping, even under heavy use.

These coilovers let you adjust both rebound and compression damping separately. You get 12 distinct positions for each, allowing you to fine-tune how the suspension returns (rebound) and compresses (moves inward). This helps reduce body roll in corners, keeps your tires planted for better traction, and can even improve ride comfort when you're not on the track. The inverted strut design handles side loads and braking forces better. Springs are included, and the kit comes with camber-adjustable front top mounts and solid rear top mounts to help you dial in front-end grip.
