How do I adjust the rebound and compression settings?

The rebound and both low- and high-speed compression adjustments are accessible via the external reservoirs. There are 12 distinct positions for rebound adjustment, allowing you to fine-tune the suspension's return rate.

What is the benefit of the inverted strut design?

The inverted strut design is used because it is better suited to handle the significant side loads and braking forces that occur during aggressive driving and track use, contributing to overall system durability and performance.

What is included with this coilover kit besides the dampers and springs?

This kit includes external reservoirs for adjustment access. It also comes with camber-adjustable front top mounts and, where applicable, solid rear top mounts to optimize suspension geometry and handling.

About this part

Product Details

AST is known for building serious motorsport suspension systems, and these 5300 Series coilovers are a prime example of their dedication to track performance. If you're looking to get the absolute most out of your 1999-2005 Renault Clio 2 RS 172 CUP, these coilovers are designed to help you achieve championship-level handling. They allow for extensive tuning of your suspension's behavior, giving you the control needed to adapt to different track conditions and driving styles.

What sets these coilovers apart is the 3-way adjustability, which lets you independently tune the rebound, low-speed compression, and high-speed compression. You can control how quickly the suspension returns after a bump (rebound) and how it reacts to both gentle body movements and sharp impacts (low- and high-speed compression). This level of control is managed through external reservoirs, and each of the 12 rebound positions offers distinct feedback, allowing for a truly unique driving sensation. The inverted strut design is built to withstand the significant side loads and braking forces encountered during aggressive driving. You also have the flexibility to adjust spring rates, further customizing the suspension to your needs.

This kit includes camber-adjustable front top mounts, which allow for more precise wheel alignment adjustments to optimize front-end grip. Solid rear top mounts are also included where applicable. With these coilovers, you can stiffen settings to reduce body roll and improve responsiveness, or fine-tune for better tire contact and traction, all while managing ride comfort.
