The AST 5100 Series Coilovers for the Honda Civic 98-00 MB8 are high-performance suspension components designed to enhance handling and ride quality. Featuring non-inverted monotube shock absorbers, these coilovers utilize advanced technology to deliver superior damping performance compared to traditional twin-tube designs. The monotube construction employs a floating piston to separate gas pressure from the oil chamber, effectively preventing cavitation and aeration for consistent response. The adjustable rebound feature allows for fine-tuning of the damping characteristics, providing a customizable driving experience. Built with durable materials, these coilovers are engineered for both street and track use, offering improved stability, cornering, and overall suspension performance.

Designed specifically for 1998-2000 Honda Civic models with the MB8 chassis and 1.4L 16V engines, these coilovers are a direct bolt-on upgrade for stock suspension systems. They are suitable for enthusiasts seeking enhanced handling, whether for daily driving, spirited street use, or track days. The kit includes coilover units with adjustable platforms, enabling precise height and damping adjustments to suit individual preferences. Compatibility is optimized for vehicles with the specified chassis and engine configurations, ensuring a seamless fit and reliable performance. These coilovers are ideal for drivers aiming to improve their Civic’s suspension response and overall driving dynamics.

Overview

The 5100 Series shock absorbers for the 1998-2000 Honda Civic 1.4 16V (MB8) 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.
