There are two AST series to choose from: the 5200 2-Way, with its own adjusters for rebound and for compression, and the 5300 3-Way, which adds a second compression adjuster for high-speed movement. Both work with external reservoirs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo series: the 5200 2-Way and the 5300 3-Way\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTVR Chimaera, 1992 to 2003\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExternal reservoirs, changeable spring rates and a 12-position rebound adjuster\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCamber-adjustable front and solid rear top mounts where the car needs them\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eChoose your series\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery AST damper is a monotube: nothing inside can aerate or foam, which AST say keeps the valving responsive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e5200 2-Way Motorsport (AST RIV)\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eRebound and compression damping each have their own adjuster, and ride height adjusts too. 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\u003cp\u003eAST part number: RIV-T6002S\u003c\/p\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.
