What is the benefit of having external reservoirs on these coilovers?

External reservoirs allow for a larger volume of shock fluid, which helps dissipate heat better. This means more consistent damping performance during hard driving or track use. They also make adjusting compression and rebound easier.

How do I adjust the compression and rebound settings?

Each damper has a separate adjustment knob for compression and rebound. There are 12 distinct positions for each, allowing you to fine-tune how the suspension reacts to road or track conditions. Refer to the manufacturer's instructions for specific adjustment procedures.

What is the advantage of camber-adjustable top mounts?

Camber-adjustable top mounts allow you to change the angle of the wheel relative to the vertical axis. This lets you dial in more negative camber, which can significantly improve front-end grip during cornering and allow for better tire contact with the road.

Product Details

Already running a track-focused setup? The AST 5200 Comp Series Coilovers are the next piece for your 1999-2005 Porsche 911 996 C2 (2WD). These are built for drivers who push their cars hard, offering separate adjustment for compression and rebound damping via external reservoirs. You get a unique driving feel tailored to your needs.

This kit uses a MONOTUBE coilover design for both front and rear dampers. The inverted strut design handles heavy side loads and braking forces well. You can adjust spring rates, rebound (how fast the damper extends), and compression (how fast it compresses). With 12 positions for each adjustment, you can dial in your suspension for better handling, reduced body roll, and improved tire contact. Camber-adjustable front top mounts and solid rear top mounts are included where applicable, letting you fine-tune front-end grip.
