Featuring inverted, upside-down shock absorber technology, these coilovers are race-proven and deliver increased strength and durability under demanding driving conditions. The design improves suspension geometry during heavy lateral and braking loads, making them ideal for both street and track use. The 5100 Series coilovers provide superior damping performance compared to standard twin-tube shocks, with adjustable rebound settings accessible via a single knob for personalized tuning. Constructed with high-quality materials, these coilovers are engineered to optimize vehicle response and control, ensuring a more precise and confident driving experience.

Designed specifically for 1988-1991 Porsche 944 3.0 S2 models, these coilovers are a direct replacement upgrade for the factory suspension. They are suitable for vehicles used in spirited street driving, track days, or performance-oriented applications. Installation is straightforward for those familiar with coilover setups, and the kit includes all necessary components for a complete upgrade. Compatibility is limited to the specified model years and chassis, with no additional modifications required. These coilovers are ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved handling, adjustable ride height, and enhanced suspension performance on their Porsche 944.

Overview

The 5100 Series shock absorbers for the 1988-1991 Porsche 944 3.0 S2 (Type 3) utilize inverted / upside down technology. The inverted design is race proven technology and produces an extremely strong damper, providing better suspension geometry under heavy lateral and braking loads as seen in a road and track environment.

The 5100 Series shock absorbers give your car a better performance than the standard twin tube design. With the 5100 Series suspension you can adjust rebound with one knob. The adjust platform allows you 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.
