The AST 5200 Series Coilovers for the 1997-2000 Honda Civic 1.6 16V (MB4) are high-performance suspension components designed for enthusiasts seeking precise handling and adjustable ride characteristics. These coilovers feature 2-way adjustable shock absorbers, allowing users to fine-tune compression and rebound damping independently. 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. This setup enables quick and straightforward adjustments, optimizing suspension performance for various driving conditions. Constructed with durable materials to withstand rigorous use, the 5200 series enhances vehicle stability, cornering, and overall ride quality, making them suitable for both street and track applications.

Designed to fit 1997-2000 Honda Civic models with a 1.6 16V engine, these coilovers serve as a direct replacement for stock suspension components. They are engineered for easy bolt-on installation, providing an upgrade over factory shocks with improved handling and adjustability. The kit includes coilover assemblies tailored for performance tuning, allowing drivers to customize ride height and damping settings. Ideal for street, track, or spirited driving, these coilovers help maximize vehicle responsiveness and control. Compatibility is specific to the MB4 chassis, ensuring a precise fit and optimal performance for this generation Civic.

Overview

The 5200 Series for the 1997-2000 Honda Civic 1.6 16V (MB4) 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.
