AST Coilovers for BMW M3 F80 & M4 F82 / F83

Coilovers for the F80 M3 and the F82 and F83 M4. The 5100 Street kit fits all of them; every other series comes in a pre-LCI version for cars with a 3-bolt front top-mount fixing and an LCI version for cars with a 5-bolt fixing. Each adjusts for ride height and rebound damping.

• Five series: 5100 Street, Street Performance and Clubracing, 5200 2-Way and 5300 3-Way
• M3 F80 and M4 F82, pre-LCI and LCI, and the LCI M4 Convertible F83
• Pick the 3-bolt option for a pre-LCI car and the 5-bolt option for an LCI car
• 5200 and 5300: separate compression adjustment and external reservoirs

Check before you order

• The kits with top mounts differ by the car's front top-mount fixing: pre-LCI cars have three bolts and LCI cars five. Choose the Series option for your car.

Every AST damper is a monotube: nothing inside can aerate or foam, which AST say keeps the valving responsive.

5100 Street, inverted (AST ACU)

The 5100 Street kit with inverted monotube dampers, adjustable for rebound damping and ride height. The front dampers are coilovers; at the rear the spring and damper stay separate, as the car was built. Springs come in the kit, which works with the car's original top mounts. AST fix the rear spring rate for each car. The rebound adjuster has 12 positions, and the dampers can be rebuilt.

AST part number: ACU-B2102SD

5100 Street Performance (AST ACT)

The 5100 Street kit with camber-adjustable top mounts added at the front. Inverted monotube dampers, adjustable for rebound damping and ride height; coilovers at the front, and a separate spring and damper at the rear as the car was built. Adjustable camber lets you set the angle of the front wheels, and with it how the front end grips. AST fix the rear spring rate for each car. The rebound adjuster has 12 positions, and the dampers can be rebuilt.

• ACT-B2102S/3D (3-bolt top mounts (pre-LCI)): M3 F80, M4 F82
• ACT-B2102S/5D (5-bolt top mounts (LCI)): M3 F80, M4 F82/F83

5100 Clubracing (AST ACC)

The 1-way kit for cars that see track days as well as daily miles: inverted monotube coilovers front and rear, with top mounts at both ends. The front top mounts adjust for camber; the rear ones are solid. Spring rates can be changed to suit. Ride height adjusts, the rebound adjuster has 12 positions, and the dampers can be rebuilt.

• ACC-B2103S/3D (3-bolt top mounts (pre-LCI)): M3 F80, M4 F82
• ACC-B2103S/5D (5-bolt top mounts (LCI)): M3 F80, M4 F82/F83

5200 2-Way Motorsport (AST RIV)

Rebound 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.

• RIV-B2102SD (3-bolt top mounts (pre-LCI)): M3 F80, M4 F82
• RIV-B2106SD (5-bolt top mounts (LCI)): M3 F80, M4 F82/F83

5300 3-Way Motorsport (AST RAC)

Three 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. Spring rates can be changed, and the rebound adjuster has 12 positions. AST's kit for the most committed circuit drivers.

• RAC-B2102SD (3-bolt top mounts (pre-LCI)): M3 F80, M4 F82
• RAC-B2106SD (5-bolt top mounts (LCI)): M3 F80, M4 F82/F83
