AST Suspension 5200 Series 2-Way Coilovers - E8X
The 5200 Series for the 2004-2013 BMW E8X are 2-way adjustable shock absorbers that are based upon their competition 3-way adjustable shock absorbers.
The design of the compression adjuster is an evolution of the compression adjuster we provided for the American Grand-Am series for the last few years. The 5200 shock absorbers were designed to achieve a quick and easy setup, allowing separate adjustment of compression and rebound.
The 5200 Series AST uses an external canister. Throughout testing and competitions, the 5200 has been praised for its performance and capabilities, setting a new standard for a 2-way damper. It's no surprise that the 5200 is fast becoming a favorite damper amongst race teams and track day enthusiasts worldwide.
