Construction & Design
The AST 5100 Series Coilovers feature a monotube damper design, which eliminates aeration and foaming issues common in twin-tube shocks. This results in more precise and responsive valving, enhancing your vehicle’s control and feedback. The large piston design further refines rebound damping adjustability, allowing you to customize the suspension’s behavior to your driving style and road conditions.
Both front and rear dampers utilize coilover construction, integrating springs and shocks into a single assembly for compactness and improved performance. The springs included are matched to the dampers and designed to fit OEM top mounts, ensuring straightforward installation and compatibility.
