What is the benefit of 3-way adjustable coilovers?

3-way adjustable coilovers allow you to independently tune rebound, low-speed compression, and high-speed compression. This offers a much finer level of control over how your suspension behaves during cornering, braking, and over bumps, leading to improved handling and tire contact.

What do the external reservoirs do?

External reservoirs increase the amount of shock fluid and surface area for cooling. This helps to dissipate heat more effectively, which is crucial for maintaining consistent damping performance during prolonged periods of hard driving, like on a race track.

What is the advantage of camber-adjustable top mounts?

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

Product Details

AST is known for building serious suspension components for demanding motorsports. If you're looking to get the absolute most out of your Lotus Elise S2 on the track, the AST 5300 Series 3-way coilovers are designed to help you achieve that goal. These aren't just about lowering your car; they offer a level of adjustability that lets you fine-tune your suspension for optimal performance under extreme conditions.

What sets these coilovers apart is the 3-way adjustability, allowing you to independently control rebound, low-speed compression, and high-speed compression. You can adjust the rebound, which controls how quickly the damper returns after being compressed, through 12 distinct positions. This means you can dial in exactly how the suspension reacts when the wheel comes back down. Then there's the compression adjustment, which controls how the suspension moves inward. You can adjust both low-speed compression – for gradual movements like body roll during cornering – and high-speed compression, which handles sharp impacts like hitting a bump. This level of control lets you reduce body roll, improve steering response, and keep your tires firmly planted for better traction. The inverted strut design is built to handle the significant side loads and braking forces common in racing, and the monotube design ensures consistent damping performance.

This kit comes with external reservoirs to give you more fluid capacity and better heat dissipation, which is crucial for sustained performance. You'll also get camber-adjustable front top mounts and solid rear top mounts. The adjustable front top mounts allow you to fine-tune your front-end geometry, which can significantly impact grip and handling. With these coilovers, you have the flexibility to adjust spring rates as well, giving you even more options to customize your suspension setup for your specific driving needs and track conditions.
