The AST 5200 Series Coilovers for the 1994-2000 Honda Civic 1.6 Vtec (MB1) are high-performance suspension components designed for enthusiasts seeking precise handling and adjustable ride characteristics. These coilovers feature 2-way adjustable shock absorbers that allow independent tuning of compression and rebound damping, enabling optimal setup for street, track, or autocross applications. Built upon the technology of competition-grade 3-way adjustable shocks, they incorporate an advanced compression adjuster inspired by designs used in the American Grand-Am series. Constructed with durable materials, these coilovers provide a balance of performance, durability, and ease of setup, making them suitable for both daily driving and competitive use.

Designed specifically for 1994-2000 Honda Civic models with the MB1 chassis and 1.6 Vtec engines, these coilovers are a direct bolt-on upgrade for stock suspension components. They are intended for drivers looking to improve handling, cornering stability, and ride height adjustment. The kit includes the coilover units and necessary mounting hardware, with no additional modifications required for installation. Suitable for street, track, or autocross use, these coilovers offer customizable damping settings to match various driving conditions and preferences, ensuring optimal performance and control.

Overview

The 5200 Series for the 1994-2000 Honda Civic 1.6 Vtec (MB1) 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.
