Built upon competition-grade 3-way adjustable shock technology, these coilovers feature adjustable compression and rebound settings, enabling fine-tuning for various driving conditions. The design incorporates an advanced compression adjuster inspired by AST’s successful application in the American Grand-Am series, ensuring quick and straightforward setup. Crafted for durability and performance, the 5200 series provides a balance of comfort and aggressive handling, making them suitable for both street and track use.

These coilovers are specifically engineered for the Evo 4/5/6 models within the 1996-1998 year range. They serve as direct replacement components that enhance suspension performance and handling characteristics. Installation is designed to be straightforward for those familiar with coilover setups, offering adjustable ride height and damping control. The kit includes the shock absorbers with adjustable features, allowing users to optimize their vehicle’s stance and response. Ideal for track days, spirited driving, or improved street performance, these coilovers deliver a versatile upgrade tailored to the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution platform.

Overview

The 5200 Series for the 1996-1998 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution (Evo 4/5/6) 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.
