The AST 25mm/25mm Lowering Springs for the Ford Escort are high-performance suspension components designed to improve handling and aesthetics. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are carefully handpicked by AST engineers for their quality and consistency. Each spring undergoes a precise manufacturing process, including cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and reduce internal stresses, and shot peening for increased durability. The phosphate treatment and powder coating ensure long-lasting corrosion resistance, making these springs a reliable upgrade for the vehicle’s suspension system. Their progressive rate design provides a balanced ride quality, combining improved cornering stability with comfort for daily driving or spirited performance.
These lowering springs are compatible with 1983-1990 Ford Escort models, including MKIII-IV, GAA, GAF, AFF, and AFD chassis codes. They are intended for use on vehicles with stock or mildly modified suspensions, offering a 25mm drop at the front and rear to lower the vehicle’s stance and center of gravity. Installation is a direct replacement, bolt-on upgrade that enhances handling without sacrificing ride quality. Suitable for street and performance driving, these springs are ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved cornering and a more aggressive look. The kit includes the set of four springs, providing a straightforward upgrade for compatible Escort models.
