Construction & Design

The AST 5200 Series Coilovers are built with a focus on durability and performance. The shock bodies are crafted from high-strength steel and finished with corrosion-resistant coatings to ensure longevity. The damping components utilize high-quality valving and seals to provide consistent feedback and reliable operation over time. The remote reservoirs are connected via braided steel lines, which help maintain structural integrity and heat dissipation during intense driving sessions.

The adjustable components are designed for ease of use, with precise knobs and settings that allow you to fine-tune your suspension without the need for specialized tools. The coilovers feature a compact, lightweight design that reduces unsprung mass, contributing to improved handling and responsiveness. Overall, the engineering and materials used in these coilovers ensure they can handle aggressive driving while maintaining a smooth, controlled ride.

Installation & Fitment

The AST 5200 Series Coilovers are designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory suspension on the Mitsubishi Evo 7, 8, and 9 models from 2001 to 2006. Installation typically involves removing the existing shocks and springs and replacing them with the coilover assemblies. No cutting, drilling, or complex modifications are required, making it accessible for experienced DIY enthusiasts or professional installers.

Proper alignment and corner balancing are recommended after installation to achieve optimal handling and tire wear. The adjustable features allow you to set your desired ride height and damping characteristics easily, providing a tailored driving experience.
