AST Suspension Lowering Springs (35mm/30mm TUV) - 1996-2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class SLK (W170)

The AST Suspension Lowering Springs for the 1996-2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class (W170) are high-performance coil springs designed to improve handling and aesthetics. Constructed from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are carefully handpicked by AST engineers for their quality and metal consistency. Each spring undergoes a rigorous manufacturing process, including cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and reduce internal stresses, and individual shot peening. The springs are then phosphate treated and powder coated to ensure durability and longevity, surpassing the lifespan of the vehicle. Featuring progressive rates on most versions, these springs provide a balanced ride with improved stability and reduced body roll, making them suitable for enthusiasts seeking both performance and a lowered stance.

Designed specifically for the 1996-2004 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class (W170), these lowering springs are a direct replacement for the factory components. They are intended for street use, offering a lowered ride height of approximately 35mm at the front and 30mm at the rear, enhancing the vehicle’s visual appeal and handling characteristics. Installation is straightforward as they are bolt-on components compatible with the original suspension setup. The kit includes the set of springs necessary for a complete upgrade, with no additional modifications required. These springs are ideal for daily drivers and enthusiasts looking to improve cornering, reduce body roll, and achieve a sportier look on the road.
