The AST 5200 Series Coilovers for the 1997-2000 Honda Civic 1.4 16V (MB2) 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, they provide a versatile setup for both street and track use. The design incorporates an advanced compression adjuster inspired by AST's successful application in the American Grand-Am series, ensuring quick and straightforward setup adjustments. Constructed with durable materials, these coilovers deliver improved stability, reduced body roll, and enhanced responsiveness, making them ideal for enthusiasts seeking a balance of comfort and performance.

Designed specifically for the 1997-2000 Honda Civic MB2 chassis with a 1.4 16V engine, these coilovers are a direct bolt-on upgrade for the factory suspension. They are suitable for street driving, track days, or spirited driving, offering adjustable ride height and damping to suit various driving conditions. Installation involves replacing the stock shocks and springs with these coilovers, providing a customizable suspension setup. The kit includes the shock absorbers and necessary mounting hardware, ensuring a straightforward installation process. These coilovers are an excellent choice for drivers aiming to improve handling dynamics and achieve a tailored suspension setup for their Civic.

Overview

The 5200 Series for the 1997-2000 Honda Civic 1.4 16V (MB2) 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.
