The AST 5100 Series Coilovers for the Honda Civic MB3 (97-00) are high-performance suspension components designed to enhance handling and ride quality. Featuring non-inverted monotube shock absorbers, these coilovers utilize advanced technology previously known as the 4100 series. The monotube design separates gas pressure with a floating piston, effectively reducing cavitation and aeration within the oil chamber, resulting in improved responsiveness and durability. The shocks are equipped with rebound adjustment via a single knob, allowing for customizable damping settings to suit various driving conditions. Built with precision and quality materials, these coilovers deliver superior performance, stability, and control on the street or track.

Designed specifically for 1997-2000 Honda Civic models with the MB3 chassis and 1.5 16V engine, these coilovers are a direct bolt-on upgrade for stock suspension systems. They are ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved handling, lowered stance, and adjustable ride height. The kit includes the coilover units with rebound adjustment features, providing a versatile solution for street and track use. Installation is straightforward for those familiar with suspension work, and these coilovers are suitable for daily driving, spirited street use, or competitive motorsports. Compatibility is specific to the listed model years and engine configuration, ensuring a precise fit and optimal performance.

Overview

The 5100 Series shock absorbers for the 1997-2000 Honda Civic 1.5 16V (MB3) 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.
