Product Description

AST 5300 Motorsport coilovers for the BMW F80 M3, F82 M4 and F83 M4 combine adjustable ride height with three independently adjustable damping functions. Rebound, low-speed compression and high-speed compression can be set separately, providing a more detailed compression adjustment than the two-way 5200 system.

AST coilover technical overview

Damper design & adjustment: The high-pressure monotube dampers use inverted front struts and remote reservoirs. Both compression controls are located on the reservoirs, with rebound adjusted independently. Low-speed and high-speed refer to the damper's movement rather than road speed; the settings address different suspension inputs, not separate driving-speed modes. Rebound affects resistance during extension after compression.

Mounting, supplied equipment & reservoirs: Springs and camber-adjustable front top mounts are supplied. The camber adjustment changes the front alignment at the strut mounting and is distinct from damping and ride-height adjustment. RAC-B2102SD is the three-bolt pre-LCI application and RAC-B2106SD is the five-bolt LCI application. Drop links are included with both kits. AST's rebuildable construction allows the dampers to be serviced during their working life. External reservoirs need a secure mounting position and hose routing that remains clear throughout steering and suspension movement. Reservoir mounting brackets are optional accessories. Wheel and tyre clearance should be checked for the car's actual wheel specification and chosen ride height.

Installation & setup: For cars fitted with factory Electronic Damper Control, Clubsport Garage recommends coding out EDC when installing non-electronic coilovers, where supported. A compatible KW EDC cancellation kit is a separately available hardware alternative. The replacement dampers remain manually adjusted. Final ride height and alignment should be established as part of the installation, before developing the damping settings around the car's intended use.

FAQs

Do low-speed and high-speed compression refer to vehicle speed?

No. They refer to the speed of damper movement. Both can be relevant at the same road speed when the suspension encounters different inputs.

Are reservoir mounting brackets included?

No. Reservoir mounting brackets are optional accessories. The installation needs secure reservoir positioning and hose clearance throughout steering and suspension movement.

Can the dampers be serviced?

Yes. The 5300 uses rebuildable dampers. Follow AST's servicing guidance for the vehicle and its use.
