The AST 5200 Series Coilovers for the 2008-2018 Ford Fiesta Zetec ST 1.6 Turbo (JA8/JR8) are high-performance suspension components designed for enthusiasts seeking precise handling and adjustable ride characteristics. These coilovers feature 2-way adjustable shock absorbers that allow users to fine-tune compression and rebound damping independently, enabling optimal setup for street or track use. Built upon the technology of competition-grade 3-way adjustable shocks, the 5200 series offers quick and straightforward adjustments, thanks to an evolved compression adjuster inspired by the American Grand-Am series. Constructed with durable materials, these coilovers deliver improved stability, reduced body roll, and enhanced cornering performance, making them ideal for spirited driving and competitive applications.

Designed specifically for the 2008-2018 Ford Fiesta Zetec ST 1.6 Turbo models, these coilovers are a direct bolt-on upgrade that replaces factory suspension components. They are suitable for vehicles equipped with the JA8 or JR8 chassis codes and are intended for street, track, or autocross use. The kit includes the necessary shock absorbers with adjustable features, providing a customizable ride height and damping setup. Installation is straightforward for those familiar with suspension work, and these coilovers are optimized for drivers seeking improved handling dynamics and a tailored driving experience.

Overview

The 5200 Series for the 2008-2018 Ford Fiesta Zetec ST 1.6 Turbo (JA8/JR8) 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.
