Compression damping sets how quickly the suspension moves in; rebound sets how quickly it extends again. The dampers work with external reservoirs, mounted remotely. The struts are inverted, which AST use because that design copes with heavy sideways loads and with braking. Where the car needs them, camber-adjustable front and solid rear top mounts are included. Spring rates can be changed, and the rebound adjuster has 12 positions. AST made it first of all for track driving.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRIV-L1102S (Elise S2 2001-2011): Lotus Elise S2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRIV-L1103S (Elise or Exige S2 2004-2006): Lotus Elise \/ Exige S2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e5300 3-Way Motorsport (AST RAC)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree separate damping adjusters - rebound, low-speed compression and high-speed compression - plus adjustable ride height. Low-speed compression looks after slow, gradual movement of the suspension; high-speed compression looks after sharp, hard hits. The dampers work with external reservoirs, mounted remotely. The struts are inverted, which AST use because that design copes with heavy sideways loads and with braking. Where the car needs them, camber-adjustable front and solid rear top mounts are included.
