AST Suspension 5300 3-Way Adjustable Inverted Coilovers

Porsche 986 Boxter 2012 - 2016

The AST Suspension 5300 Series 3-Way Adjustable Inverted Coilover Kit is a professional-grade suspension upgrade developed for Porsche 986 Boxter that demand maximum performance, control, and adjustability. Designed for serious track use while remaining suitable for fast road setups, the 5300 system delivers exceptional grip, stability, and driver confidence.

Featuring an inverted monotube damper design, the 5300 kit offers increased rigidity and reduced unsprung mass, improving steering response and consistency under high loads. Independent 3-way adjustment allows precise tuning of low-speed compression, high-speed compression, and rebound—giving experienced drivers and suspension specialists full control over chassis behaviour.

This is a no-compromise solution for drivers seeking race-proven suspension technology with the flexibility to fine-tune their setup for different circuits, conditions, and driving styles.

• Upgrading: AST 5100/5200/5300 “5000-series” dampers are built modularly and can be upgraded, but what’s involved depends on which step you’re taking and your exact Porsche chassis/kit spec.

  • 5100 → 5200 or 5300: Generally possible by sending the dampers to an authorized AST rebuild/upgrade center to add the required internals and remote reservoirs (and associated hardware). This “upgrade path” is a commonly stated feature of the AST 5000-series modular design.
    

  • 5200 → 5300: Typically the straightforward upgrade (adding the extra compression circuit/adjustment hardware). Many dealers describe the 5200 as a good “start here, upgrade later” option for that reason.
