The AST 5200 Series Coilovers for the 1999-2002 BMW Z3 M 2.0i Coupe (E36/7 E36/8) are high-performance suspension components designed for 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 various driving conditions. 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 provides quick and easy adjustments, ensuring drivers can fine-tune their suspension for improved stability, cornering, and overall performance. Constructed with durable materials, these coilovers are engineered for both street and track use, offering a balance of comfort and aggressive handling.

Designed specifically for the 1999-2002 BMW Z3 M 2.0i Coupe (E36/7 E36/8), these coilovers are a direct bolt-on upgrade for enthusiasts seeking enhanced suspension performance. They are suitable for street, track, or spirited driving, providing adjustable ride height and damping settings to match individual preferences. Installation involves replacing the factory shocks with these coilovers, which include all necessary components for a straightforward setup. Compatibility is limited to the specified model and year range, ensuring optimal fitment and performance. The AST 5200 Series coilovers are ideal for drivers aiming to improve handling dynamics and achieve a customized suspension setup.

Overview

The 5200 Series for the 1999-2002 BMW Z3 M 2.0i Coupe (E36/7 E36/8) 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.
