The AST 5100 Series Coilovers for Honda Accord CL7/9 (2002-2008) are high-performance suspension components designed to enhance handling and ride quality. These coilovers feature monotube shock absorber technology, which provides superior damping performance compared to traditional twin-tube designs. The monotube construction uses a floating piston to separate gas pressure from the oil chamber, reducing cavitation and aeration for more consistent response. The 5100 Series coilovers allow for rebound adjustment via a single knob, enabling precise tuning to suit various driving conditions. Built with durable materials and engineered for performance, these coilovers deliver improved stability, cornering, and ride comfort for enthusiasts seeking a sporty upgrade.

Designed specifically for 2002-2008 Honda Accord models, these coilovers are a direct bolt-on upgrade for the stock suspension. They are suitable for street driving, spirited driving, and track use, offering adjustable ride height and damping characteristics. Installation involves replacing the factory struts and springs with the coilover units, providing a straightforward upgrade process. The kit includes the coilover assemblies and necessary mounting hardware. These coilovers are ideal for drivers looking to customize their vehicle’s stance and handling, ensuring a tailored driving experience while maintaining compatibility with the Accord CL7/9 chassis.

Overview

The 5100 Series shock absorbers for the 1996-2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class (R170) utilize non-inverted / high performance monotube technology. In the past, these were known as the 4100 series. Monotube design shocks absorbers give your car a better performance than the standard twin tube design, the gas pressure is separated by a floating piston, and eliminates cavitation and airation within the oil chamber.

The 5100 Series shocks allow rebound adjustment with one knob. The adjust platform allows the user to adjust the ride height of your car. AST suspension shock bodies are specially designed to keep maximum stroke, even with a lower ride height.

How a Monotube design works?

Monotube design is essential for performance. The oil and nitrogen are separated by a floating piston, and allows the use of a larger piston, increasing the damper performance and sensitivity felt by the driver, all this added together produces more grip, gives more control and driver feedback from your vehicle.

What is a rebound adjustment?

Rebound controls the rate of extension of your shock absorber. By changing the rebound you can directly change the characteristics of the vehicle.
