The AST 5300 Series Coilovers are high-performance suspension components designed specifically for the 1997-2005 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 (996). These coilovers are engineered for track use, featuring fully adjustable rebound, high-speed compression, and low-speed compression settings. The rebound adjustment offers 12 positions, while the high-speed compression has 12 positions and the low-speed compression has 14 positions, all accessible via external canisters. Each adjustment functions independently, allowing precise tuning for optimal handling and stability. Constructed with durable materials and advanced engineering, these coilovers deliver improved responsiveness, reduced body roll, and enhanced cornering performance, making them ideal for enthusiasts seeking a competitive edge on the track.

Designed to fit 1997-2005 Porsche 911 Carrera 2 (996) models, these coilovers are a direct upgrade for the factory suspension. They are suitable for track days, spirited driving, or performance tuning, providing a customizable ride height and damping setup. Installation involves replacing the stock shocks with these coilovers, which are engineered for bolt-on compatibility. The kit includes the necessary coilover units with external canisters for compression adjustments. These coilovers are compatible with various chassis codes within the specified year range and are intended for drivers seeking precise suspension tuning for high-performance driving scenarios.
