AST 5300 3-Way Coilovers for VW Golf Mk2 & Mk3

The 5300 3-Way kit for the Mk2 Golf (1983 to 1992) and Mk3 (1993 to 1997), which take the same AST kit: three separate damping adjusters, for rebound, low-speed compression and high-speed compression, plus adjustable ride height, with the dampers working with external reservoirs.

• 5300 3-Way: rebound, low-speed and high-speed compression adjusters
• Golf Mk2 and Mk3, 1983 to 1997
• External reservoirs, changeable spring rates and a 12-position rebound adjuster
• Fitting: the body needs modifying, and universal top mounts are used

Choose your series

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

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.

AST part number: RAC-V1302S

Fitting notes

• AST say the body needs modifying for this kit, and universal top mounts are used front and rear.
