Product Description

AST 5100 coilovers for the BMW F2X/F3X applications listed below combine adjustable ride height with single-adjustable rebound damping. The range covers M135i, M140i, 335i and 340i applications, together with the listed M235i xDrive and M240i xDrive models. Street, Street Performance and Club Racing configurations differ in their top mounts and rear spring arrangement, while the application choice identifies the drivetrain and mounting specification.

AST coilover technical overview

Damper design & adjustment: The system uses high-pressure monotube dampers with inverted front struts and supplied springs. Rebound adjustment changes the resistance as a damper extends after compression; the spring platforms independently establish ride height. The dampers are rebuildable, allowing servicing during their working life. These shared features belong to the whole range rather than representing additional choices in the selector.

Configuration differences

Street retains the original top mounts and the separate rear spring and damper layout.

Street Performance adds camber-adjustable front top mounts, while retaining the original rear mounts and separate rear springs.

Club Racing includes camber-adjustable front and solid rear top mounts and uses a true rear coilover arrangement, with the rear spring mounted around the damper. Where replacement front mounts are supplied, the three-bolt pre-LCI and five-bolt LCI fixing patterns must match the car. Rear-wheel-drive and xDrive kits are also distinct. Street kits that retain the original front mounts can cover the stated pre-LCI and LCI applications without introducing a separate replacement-mount choice. Check the full compatibility information rather than selecting by engine badge alone. Drop links are confirmed with the Street kits.

Installation & setup: For vehicles fitted with factory Electronic Damper Control, Clubsport Garage recommends coding out EDC when fitting these non-electronic dampers, where supported. A compatible KW EDC cancellation kit is a separately available hardware alternative. Installation should include ride-height and alignment setup, with wheel and tyre clearance checked throughout steering and suspension movement.

FAQs

Does changing the damper setting change the spring rate or ride height?

No. Rebound adjustment changes damping resistance. Ride height is set through the spring platforms, and the spring rate remains a property of the installed spring.

Can the dampers be serviced?

Yes. The AST 5100 uses rebuildable dampers. Servicing should follow AST's requirements for the particular application and use.

Does the car need an alignment after fitting?

The alignment should be checked and set at the chosen ride height. Wheel and tyre clearance also needs checking with the car's actual wheel specification.
