The three-way system gives separate control over the compression response at different damper velocities, rather than treating all compression movement as one setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/7375\/5750\/files\/ast-coilover-technical-overview.png?v=1791459751\" alt=\"AST coilover technical overview\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"width:100%;height:auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDamper design \u0026amp; adjustment:\u003c\/strong\u003e The high-pressure monotube dampers use inverted front struts and external reservoirs. Both compression controls are located on the reservoirs, with rebound adjusted separately. Low-speed and high-speed describe the damper's movement, not vehicle speed. Rebound governs resistance as the damper extends after compression, while the spring platforms establish ride height.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting, supplied equipment \u0026amp; reservoirs:\u003c\/strong\u003e Springs and camber-adjustable front top mounts are supplied. Front camber adjustment changes the alignment at the upper strut mounting and is separate from the three damping controls. Rear mounting equipment follows the application-specific specification. \u003cstrong\u003eDrop links are included\u003c\/strong\u003e with this kit, supplied under part number RAC-B1603SD for the listed 1M and M3 applications. The dampers are rebuildable, allowing servicing as part of their working life. Remote-reservoir installations require secure mounting and hose routing that provides clearance throughout steering and suspension travel. \u003cstrong\u003eReservoir mounting brackets are optional accessories\u003c\/strong\u003e. Their positioning should also allow sensible access to the compression adjusters once the kit is fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation \u0026amp; setup:\u003c\/strong\u003e For cars equipped with factory Electronic Damper Control, Clubsport Garage recommends coding out EDC when fitting non-electronic coilovers, where supported for the vehicle. A compatible KW EDC cancellation kit is a separately available hardware alternative. The AST dampers remain manually adjusted. Ride height, alignment and wheel clearance should be checked together during installation before fine-tuning the damping settings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFurther information below.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"AST Suspension","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55690308845944,"sku":"RAC-B1603SD","price":5124.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0276\/7375\/5750\/files\/ast-5300-3-way-motorsport-coilovers-bmw-e82-1m-e9x-m3-2200962.png?v=1792787179","url":"https:\/\/clubsportgarage.co.uk\/products\/ast-5300-3-way-motorsport-coilovers-bmw-e82-1m-e9x-m3","provider":"Clubsport Garage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
