The AST 5200 Series Coilovers for the 1995-2000 Honda Civic 1.6 (EK1) are high-performance suspension components designed for precise handling and customization. These coilovers feature 2-way adjustable shock absorbers, allowing users to fine-tune compression and rebound settings independently. Built upon the technology of competition-grade 3-way adjustable shocks, the 5200 series offers advanced adjustability for optimal ride quality and handling characteristics. The design incorporates an evolved compression adjuster inspired by the American Grand-Am series, ensuring quick and straightforward setup. These coilovers are constructed to deliver durability and consistent performance under demanding conditions, making them suitable for both street and track use.

Designed to fit 1995-2000 Honda Civic models with a 1.6-liter engine, these coilovers are a direct bolt-on upgrade for enhanced suspension performance. They are ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved cornering, reduced body roll, and customizable ride height. Installation involves replacing the factory shocks with these adjustable units, providing a versatile solution for street, track, or spirited driving. The kit includes the necessary shock absorbers and mounting hardware, ensuring a comprehensive upgrade. Compatibility is specific to the EK1 chassis, and no additional modifications are typically required for proper fitment and operation.

Overview

The 5200 Series for the 1995-2000 Honda Civic 1.6 (EK1) 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.
