The AST 5200 Series Coilovers for the 2007-2010 Honda Civic Type R 2.0 Vtec (FD2) are high-performance suspension components designed for precise handling and customization. These 2-way adjustable shock absorbers feature independent compression and rebound adjustments, allowing users to fine-tune their suspension setup for optimal performance on street or track. Built upon the technology of competition-grade 3-way adjustable shocks, the 5200 series offers quick and easy setup with separate adjustment controls, enhancing driving dynamics and stability. The design incorporates advanced damping technology, ensuring durability and consistent performance under demanding conditions, making them ideal for enthusiasts seeking a balance of comfort and aggressive handling.

Designed specifically for the FD2 Honda Civic Type R from 2007 to 2010, these coilovers are a direct bolt-on upgrade for the factory suspension. They are suitable for street, track, or spirited driving, providing improved cornering, reduced body roll, and enhanced responsiveness. The kit includes the coilover units with adjustable damping features, enabling precise ride height and damping adjustments. Compatibility is limited to the specified model and year range, ensuring optimal fitment and performance. These coilovers are perfect for drivers looking to upgrade their suspension for better handling and a more personalized driving experience.

Overview

The 5200 Series for the 2007-2010 Honda Civic Type R 2.0 Vtec (FD2) 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.
