What does three-way adjustment change?
The AST 5300 has separate rebound, low-speed compression and high-speed compression adjustment. Compression controls sit on the remote reservoirs. Low and high speed refer to damper movement: a setup specialist uses these controls to tune the car's response to body movement and sharper inputs.
The series uses rebuildable monotube dampers and includes springs. AST specifies camber-adjustable front mounts and rear top mounts where applicable. Exact mounts and spring rates should be agreed for the application. Product photographs are series examples.
AST 5200 or 5300?
The AST 5200 has separate rebound and compression adjustment. The 5300 adds separate low-speed and high-speed compression control alongside rebound. The Porsche 5300 references shown here are in AST\'s current catalogue. Current supply of the earlier Porsche 5200 references RIV-P2203S and RIV-P2201S still needs confirmation, so they are not offered as live buying options here. Ask us about the appropriate AST kit for the exact chassis and intended use.
Planning installation and setup
Provide the chassis, model year, tyre choice, vehicle use and existing suspension modifications when enquiring. Allow for professional fitting, reservoir and hose clearance, ride-height setting, corner-weight work and a full alignment. Confirm the delivery estimate before booking fitting or a track event.
The 996 GT2 / GT3 reference is identified by AST for race use. Do not apply that listing to a Carrera, Turbo or another generation. The Boxster listing covers the specified 986 application and does not establish 987 fitment.
