The AST 5200 Series Coilovers for the 1987-1991 Porsche 944 2.5 S (Type 2) are high-performance suspension components designed for precise handling and adjustable ride dynamics. These 2-way adjustable shock absorbers feature independent compression and rebound damping adjustments, allowing for tailored tuning to suit street or track conditions. Built upon the technology of AST’s competition-grade 3-way adjustable shocks, the 5200 series offers quick and straightforward setup with separate adjustment controls, enhancing suspension performance and driver control. Constructed with durable materials and engineered for reliability, these coilovers deliver improved stability, reduced body roll, and optimized damping characteristics for spirited driving.

Designed specifically for the 1987-1991 Porsche 944 2.5 S (Type 2), these coilovers are a direct bolt-on upgrade for the factory suspension. They are suitable for enthusiasts seeking enhanced handling on both street and track applications, providing adjustable ride height and damping to match various driving styles. Installation involves replacing the stock shocks with these coilovers, which include all necessary components for a complete upgrade. Compatibility is limited to the specified model years and chassis, ensuring optimal fitment and performance. These coilovers are ideal for performance-oriented drivers looking to improve their Porsche 944’s handling capabilities.

Overview

The 5200 Series for the 1987-1991 Porsche 944 2.5 S (Type 2) are 2-way adjustable shock absorbers which are based upon competition 3-way adjustable shock absorbers. The 5200 shock absorbers are adjustable in compression and rebound.

The design of the compression adjuster is an evolution of the compression adjuster we provided for the American Grand-Am series for the last few years. The 5200 shock absorbers were designed to achieve a quick and easy set up, allowing separate adjustment of compression and rebound.

The 5200 Series AST uses an external canister. Throughout testing and competitions, the 5200 has been praised for its performance and capabilities, surpassing other major, more expensive brands and setting a new standard of 2 way damper. Its no surprise that the 5200 is fast becoming a favorite damper amongst race teams and track day enthusiasts world wide.
