What is the benefit of external reservoirs on these coilovers?

External reservoirs allow for separate adjustment of compression and rebound damping. This provides more tuning flexibility and helps manage heat buildup during intense track use, ensuring consistent performance.

How do the adjustable top mounts improve handling?

The camber-adjustable front top mounts allow you to fine-tune your wheel alignment. This is critical for optimizing front-end grip, steering response, and tire wear, especially when pushing the car hard on a track.

What is the difference between compression and rebound adjustment?

Compression adjustment controls how quickly the suspension compresses when hitting bumps or during cornering. Rebound adjustment controls how quickly the suspension extends back out. Adjusting both allows you to fine-tune the car's balance, body roll, and tire contact with the road.

About this part

Product Details

If you're looking to seriously upgrade the handling of your 99-05 Renault Clio 2 RS, especially for track use, these AST 5200 Series coilovers are a substantial step up. They allow for precise adjustments to both compression and rebound damping, giving you the control to dial in your suspension for optimal performance on the track. The kit includes springs and top mounts, making it a comprehensive package for transforming your car's handling.

These coilovers feature a MONOTUBE design for consistent damping performance, even under demanding conditions. The external reservoirs allow for separate adjustment of compression and rebound, with 12 distinct positions for each. This means you can fine-tune how the suspension reacts to bumps and cornering forces, reducing body roll and improving tire contact for better grip. The inverted strut design is built to handle the significant side loads and braking forces encountered during spirited driving. You also get camber-adjustable front top mounts and solid rear top mounts, which are crucial for optimizing front-end grip and steering response.

With these AST coilovers, you gain the ability to customize your suspension's behavior to match your driving style and track conditions. Adjusting the rebound controls how quickly the shock extends, while adjusting the compression manages how quickly it compresses. Balancing these settings is key to achieving both responsive handling and maintaining tire contact for maximum traction. This kit is designed for drivers who want to extract the most performance from their Clio RS.
