The AST Lowering Springs for the 1974-1979 Volkswagen Golf MK1/17 are high-performance suspension components designed to reduce ride height by 40mm. 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 minimize internal stresses, and individual shot peening. The phosphate coating and powder coating finish provide superior corrosion resistance, ensuring longevity even under demanding driving conditions. These springs feature progressive rates on most vehicles, offering a balanced combination of improved handling and ride comfort while maintaining ride quality and stability.

Designed specifically for 1974-1979 Volkswagen Golf MK1/17 models, these springs are a direct replacement for factory components. They are suitable for street driving, daily use, and performance upgrades, providing a lowered stance that enhances vehicle aesthetics and handling dynamics. Installation is straightforward as they are bolt-on components compatible with the original suspension setup. The kit includes the lowering springs only, with no additional components required. These springs are ideal for enthusiasts seeking a lowered ride height with improved cornering and stability, making them suitable for both street and light track use on compatible Volkswagen Golf models within the specified years.
