The AST Suspension 5200 Series Coilovers for the 2000-2004 Porsche Boxster 2.7 (986) are high-performance, 2-way adjustable shock absorbers designed for enthusiasts seeking precise suspension tuning. Built upon competition-grade 3-way adjustable shock technology, these coilovers feature independent compression and rebound adjustments, allowing for tailored handling characteristics. The compression adjuster is an evolution of the design used in American Grand-Am racing, ensuring quick and straightforward setup. These coilovers deliver improved stability, handling, and ride quality by enabling fine-tuning of damping forces to match driving conditions and preferences.

Designed specifically for 2000-2004 Porsche Boxster 2.7 models, these coilovers are a direct bolt-on upgrade that enhances both street and track performance. They are suitable for use in various driving scenarios, including spirited street driving and competitive track days. The kit includes adjustable shock absorbers with separate compression and rebound controls, facilitating precise suspension tuning. Compatibility is limited to the specified model years and engine configurations, making these coilovers an ideal choice for owners looking to optimize their vehicle’s handling and performance without extensive modifications.

Overview

The 5200 Series for the 2000-2004 Porsche Boxster 2.7 (986) 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.
