E46 M3 - AST 5200 2-Way/ 5300 3-Way

CLUB SPORT (5200 & 5300 SERIES) including top mounts & optional drop links 
 
AST Suspension Club sport 5200 Shock Absorbers.
 
The 5200 Series 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.
 
In the 5200 Series AST uses an external canister. Throughout testing and competitions, the 5200 series have been praised for its performance and capabilities, surpassing other major brands and setting a new standard for 2 way dampers. It's no surprise that the 5200 series are becoming the favorite damper amongst race teams and track day enthusiasts worldwide.
 
Benefits include:
High end, track ready suspension that is totally streetable.
Fully upgradeable to 5300 spec.
Rebound and Compression Adjustable ('Doubles'), with a remote reservoir.
Remote reservoirs allow additional travel, heat dissipation and increased oil/ nitrogen gas capacity.
44.5mm diameter shaft struts are inverted and offer exceptional strength, which in turn reduces geometry change under corner and braking manoeuvres.
Aluminum cylinder, threaded body shocks, factory mounting style.
New low friction seal on all AST dampings.
Spherical lower ''eye'' shock mounts.
Reservoir with hose or piggyback (piggyback examples: '08 STI & BMW E36 rears).
Spherical upper shock mount assemblies.
Synthetic hydraulic fluid.
Optional DLC Coated shafts.
Optional DDP piston (double digressive).
Fully service and rebuildable.

AST Suspension Club sport 5300 Shock Absorbers.
 
For the best performance on the track, AST Suspension designed the Competition 3-way adjustable series. The 5300 Series shock absorbers are rebound adjustable in 12 positions.
 
The highspeed compression is adjustable in 12 positions and the lowspeed 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 springs and damper characteristics. This makes it a versatile product for every customer. The 5300 series shock absorbers are the best solution for every race team. Once installed the shock absorbers are easy to setup, highly reliable and require low maintenance during the season because of the high grade of materials that are used.
 
The 5300 series shock absorbers are championship winning shock absorbers and are worldwide renowned for their performance at every level.
