The AST Suspension 5300 Series Coilovers are high-performance shock absorbers designed specifically for the 2004-2011 Lotus Exige (S2). Engineered for track use, these coilovers feature a 3-way adjustable design that allows precise tuning of rebound, high-speed compression, and low-speed compression. The rebound adjustment offers 12 positions, while the high-speed compression also provides 12 settings, and the low-speed compression offers 14 positions, all controlled via external canisters. This independent adjustability enables optimal handling, stability, and responsiveness during aggressive driving or racing conditions. Constructed with durable materials and advanced engineering, these coilovers deliver consistent performance and durability for demanding applications.

Designed as a direct upgrade for the Lotus Exige S2 from 2004 to 2011, these coilovers are ideal for track days, competitive racing, or serious street driving. They are bolt-on replacements that integrate seamlessly with the vehicle’s existing suspension system. The kit includes the necessary shock absorbers with external adjustment canisters, providing comprehensive tuning options for suspension stiffness and damping characteristics. Suitable for enthusiasts seeking maximum performance and customization, these coilovers enhance handling precision and cornering capabilities, making them a versatile choice for both street and track use.
