The AST 35mm Lowering Springs for the Mercedes-Benz A-Class W168 (97-04) are high-performance suspension components designed to improve handling and aesthetics. Crafted from premium high tensile chromium-silicone wire, these springs are engineered for durability and consistent performance. Each spring undergoes a meticulous manufacturing process, including cold winding, heat treatment to enhance hardness and reduce internal stresses, and individual shot peening. The phosphate treatment and powder coating provide superior corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity beyond the vehicle's lifespan. Featuring progressive spring rates on most vehicles, these springs deliver a smoother ride while lowering the vehicle's stance for a sportier appearance and improved stability.
Designed specifically for the 1997-2004 Mercedes-Benz A-Class W168 models, these springs are a direct replacement upgrade for the factory components. They are suitable for street use, offering enhanced handling and a lowered ride height of approximately 35mm. Installation is straightforward, typically involving bolt-on replacement of the original springs. The kit includes the necessary springs for both front and rear suspension, providing a comprehensive upgrade. These lowering springs are ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved cornering, reduced body roll, and a more aggressive look on daily drivers or street-driven vehicles. Compatibility is confirmed for the specified model years and chassis, ensuring a precise fit and optimal performance.
