What is the primary benefit of the 2-way adjustable damping?

The 2-way adjustable damping allows you to independently control both the rebound (how the suspension returns) and compression (how it compresses). This offers significant tuning flexibility to optimize handling for different track conditions or driving styles.

What is the purpose of the external reservoirs?

External reservoirs help to increase the oil capacity and surface area for cooling the dampers. This leads to more consistent damping performance, especially during prolonged periods of hard driving where heat buildup can affect standard dampers.

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

Camber-adjustable top mounts allow you to precisely alter the wheel's angle relative to the vehicle's body. This adjustment is crucial for optimizing tire contact patch during cornering, which can significantly improve front-end grip and steering response.

About this part

Product Details

This kit includes a set of AST 5200 Series MONOTUBE coilovers, complete with external reservoirs, springs, and top mounts. For applicable models, it also features camber-adjustable front top mounts and solid rear top mounts. These coilovers are designed for serious performance driving, allowing you to fine-tune your vehicle's suspension for track use or spirited road driving.

The AST 5200 Series system offers advanced adjustability with separate control over rebound and compression damping. You can adjust the rebound, which governs how quickly the damper extends, and the compression, which controls how fast it compresses. With 12 distinct positions for each adjustment, you can precisely tailor the suspension's response to changing road or track conditions. This fine-tuning capability helps reduce body roll during cornering, improve responsiveness, and maintain optimal tire contact for better traction. The inverted strut design is built to withstand significant side loads and braking forces, making it well-suited for demanding driving scenarios.

The included camber-adjustable front top mounts allow for further geometry alteration, which can significantly transform front-end grip. The solid rear top mounts ensure a direct connection to the chassis. This comprehensive setup gives you the flexibility to customize your suspension for a unique driving sensation and improved handling characteristics.
