The AST Suspension 5300 Series Coilovers are high-performance, adjustable suspension components designed specifically for the 2000-2002 BMW Z3 M 2.2i Coupe (E36/7 E36/8). These coilovers feature a competition-grade 3-way adjustable system that allows for precise tuning of rebound, high-speed compression, and low-speed compression damping. The shock absorbers are constructed with high-quality materials to ensure durability and consistent performance under track conditions. The external canisters facilitate independent adjustment of each damping parameter, enabling enthusiasts to optimize handling, stability, and ride quality for various driving scenarios. The 5300 Series coilovers are engineered to deliver superior control and responsiveness, making them ideal for track days, spirited driving, or performance upgrades.

Designed for 2000-2002 BMW Z3 M 2.2i Coupe models, these coilovers are a direct bolt-on upgrade that replaces the factory suspension components. They are compatible with vehicles equipped with the E36/7 and E36/8 chassis codes and are suitable for both street and track use. Installation involves replacing the stock shocks and springs with these adjustable units, allowing for customized ride height and damping settings. The kit includes the coilover assemblies with external canisters and all necessary mounting hardware. These coilovers are perfect for enthusiasts seeking enhanced handling, improved cornering, and a tailored driving experience on the street or race track.

Overview

For the best performance on the track, AST Suspension designed the Competition 3-way adjustable series to fit the 2000-2002 BMW Z3 M 2.2i Coupe (E36/7 E36/8) The 5300 Series shock absorbers are rebound adjustable in 12 positions on the strut.

The high speed compression is adjustable in 12 positions and the low speed compression is adjustable in 14 positions. Both compression adjustments are made using an external canister. All adjusters work completely independent.

Many years of technical knowledge, testing and experience has been refined, fettled and brought together to create a perfect balance between the choice of springs and the corresponding damping characteristics.
