The AST 5100 Series Coilovers Non Inverted for the Volkswagen Polo 6R (2009-2017) are high-performance suspension components designed to enhance handling and ride quality. Featuring non-inverted monotube shock absorbers, these coilovers utilize advanced high-performance technology to deliver superior damping performance compared to standard twin-tube designs. The monotube construction separates gas pressure with a floating piston, effectively preventing cavitation and aeration within the oil chamber, which results in more consistent and responsive suspension behavior. The coilovers include rebound adjustment via a single knob, allowing precise tuning to suit various driving conditions and preferences. Built with durable materials, these coilovers are engineered for both street and spirited driving, providing improved stability and control.

Designed for 2009-2017 Volkswagen Polo 6R models, these coilovers are a direct replacement upgrade for the factory suspension. They are suitable for drivers seeking enhanced handling, lowered stance, or improved performance on the street or track. The adjustable platform allows for ride height customization, enabling a tailored fit for different setups. Installation is straightforward for those familiar with coilover setups, and the kit includes all necessary components for a complete upgrade. Compatible with models equipped with the specified chassis and suspension configuration, these coilovers are ideal for enthusiasts aiming to optimize their Polo’s suspension performance.

Overview

The 5100 Series shock absorbers for the 2009-2017 Volkswagen Polo (6R) 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.
